223 (5.56) Ammo
.223 Remington ammunition and 5.56x45 NATO are closely related and sometimes interchangeable cartridges depending on the firearm they are to be used with. Manufacturers typically offer guidance on this point. In general, the 5.56 NATO ammunition the military uses and is for sale to the civilian market operates at higher pressures than .223 Remington ammo. Most, but not all, AR-15s are chambered for 5.56 NATO and can fire both types of ammo.
Many loads in both calibers follow the M193 or M855 standard, both of which are military specifications. M193 ammo typically fires a 55 grain full metal jacket bullet at 3,240 feet per second, while M855 ammo fires a heavier 62 grain FMJ bullet at about 3,100 feet per second. These common standards are very helpful when sighting in your optics and you'll find both cartridges in-stock and available in cheap bulk packs here at Widener's
Certain specialized loads deviate from these common standards. Competition grade .223/5.56 ammo fires a heavier bullet (most commonly a Sierra MatchKing) in the 77 grain range to provide better stability and more predictable trajectories; varmint loads, on the other hand, fire light 30-40 grain bullets at very high velocities to produce lethal fragmentation against pest animals.
One of the most sought after range loads for this caliber is Lake City ammunition, which is produced by Federal Premium Ammunition at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. LCAAP production is typically excess from government contracts and is popular due to its military origins and high quality.

The bullets weigh in at 55 grains which is a standard across the board for the caliber and will stabilize with the widest ranges of barrel lengths and twists. In addition, the boat tail tapered rear of the bullet reduces drag and increases accuracy. This bulk pack of 1,000 rounds is great to stock up on for matches and classes and has been specifically recommended by some training companies like the United States Shooting Academy (USSA).

Ammo was nicely boxed and performed great.

It was low priced. But I was pleasantly surprised that it was boxed well in 20 round boxes and it looked great. Performed well too, just as all remington ammo has in the past. I like the brass, its a little heavier than other makes and reloads well.

I was looking for better accuracy than I'd found with _ _ _ _ M193 type ammo and reviews indicated the PMC was the answer. Bought a case to function test a new M-4(gery) for another shooter. This ammo is topnotch-more accurate than the carbine's owner can utilize. I just wish I'd bought two cases and kept one.

200 Rounds Fired So Far: 0 Complaints

The ammo came in a convenient packaging of 20 rd boxes. Convenient to load two mags of 10 rd each (in the pathetic state of CT, that's all we're allowed). No issues with the firing or ejection. Tight grouping at 25 yards after sighting in. Haven't tried 100 yards yet. No complaints

PMC Bronze is great ammo. Im on my fourth case right now, and I love it. Zero failures. With my Daniel Defense 16" Carbine and an ACOG I was effortlessly hitting 24" square steel at 500yds with 55gr! I prefer it to other ammo as most other brand 5.56 has the dirty looking annealing burn marks on the neck of the cartridge, but PMC takes the time to polish that off. It doesnt affect function of course, but it is a really nice touch. Quality ammo, buy with confidence.

If you’re looking for proper 5.56x45 ammo for training, plinking, or stashing away in preparation for a rainy day, then we’ve got just the 900-round flat you’re after!
This cartridge’s 55 grain full metal jacket bullet and ~3,240 fps muzzle velocity are all that it needs to qualify as M193. In other words, this is essentially the same kind of ammo the U.S. Army would give you free of charge in exchange for at least two years of your life.
Worried about whether you can take this ammo to a commercial range? Then your worries are – poof – gone. ZSR’s FMJ does not have a steel core or bimetal jacket, so it’s ready to rock wherever magnetic ammo is banned. ZSR creates even greater value by exclusively loading noncorrosive Boxer primers, as well as shiny brass cases that have never before occupied a rifle’s chamber. -

The labels on the boxes are just misprinted.
How much 5.56x45 ammo do you really need? As much as you can get your hands on! And a good place to start is with a case or two of Prvi Partizan’s M193 ball ammo, which is loaded for the commercial market according to the U.S. military’s very own specifications!
This Serbian AR-15 ammo is loaded with 55 grain FMJBT projectiles. The bullet’s gilding metal jacket ensures smooth and clean performance, but inhibits any kind of terminal expansion. (A bullet like this will fragment inside of soft tissue following close-to-medium range impact, however.) The FMJBT’s boat tail helps the bullet reduce in-flight drag, thus enabling it to retain more velocity, fly flatter and strike its target with greater energy.
Prvi Partizan’s ammo is completely nonmagnetic. Not only are their bullets devoid of any steel, but their reloadable cases are also made of solid brass. These rounds’ Boxer primers are just as non-corrosive as what you should expect from an American manufacturer, and they are additionally sealed. -

These 1,000 rounds are not remotely wanting in the quality department -- their brass casings are fresh from the factory (possibly in Italy, more likely in Ozark, MO), their Boxer primers are responsive and non-corrosive, and their propellant is clean burning and matched to deliver a consistent chamber pressure, shot after shot.
This M193 Ball round boasts a 55 grain projectile with a full metal jacket, so it’ll feed without issue in your AR-15 and penetrate even unconventional plinking targets. The bullet further features a boat tail design, so its ballistic coefficient is high to give it a flattened trajectory, lower sensitivity to crosswinds, and the ability to retain a better part of its velocity downrange. -

It stands for consistent quality and satisfying target-grade accuracy that you’ll want to take with you whenever you visit the range.
Winchester manufactures their white box ammo specifically for the civilian shooter. They did load this 5.56x45 ammo to our military’s M193 specifications, however, which means it offers the same kind of performance which most veterans of the Armed Forces must already be familiar with.
This cartridge has a 55 grain full metal jacket projectile. At that weight it achieves a steady 3,180 fps muzzle velocity, which will keep it traveling at supersonic speed until around 700 yards – well beyond the 5.56’s effective range. The FMJ’s hard jacket promotes positive functioning in a semi-auto courtesy of its ability to feed smoothly and prevent rapid fouling. This round’s FMJ cannot expand inside soft tissue, although it may fragment apart at higher velocities.
This ammo also sports virgin brass cases. You will notice that they are discolored in the areas where they were annealed, which indicates that the brass is elastic enough to return to its original dimensions after ignition. Alongside their non-corrosive Boxer primers, that makes this ammo’s cases perfect for handloaders. -

Or are you looking for 223 hunting ammo that offers fairly similar recoil and ballistic performance to M193 ball? Either way, you can stack all your chips on Armscor’s American-made ammo!
This round’s 55 grain bullet isn’t the M193’s full metal jacket, though. It’s a pointed soft point, which combines a ballistically efficient nose profile and unjacketed tip to deliver a flat trajectory that ends in lethal terminal expansion. No coyote on either side of the Mississippi is walking off a direct hit with one of these (nonmagnetic and unbonded) PSP projectiles!
We sell Armscor’s unprimed component brass quite often here at Widener’s. This ammo is loaded with the exact same shells, so you can rest assured you’ll still have good reloadables after taking it for a walk at the range or in the field. You get 50 individual boxes when you spring for the whole case! -

Prvi Partizan makes 5.56x45mm ammunition there. When you have 1,000 rounds of their M193 spec ammo, you’ll be able to train and plink with your AR-15, FN SCAR, and what have you until the cows come home. And if you leave this ammo inside its watertight and airtight steel ammo can, you can trust it to last long after natural causes take you.
The M193 load is the world’s most popular type of 5.56 for target shooting. Each cartridge is set up with a 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail. It’s a bullet that cannot attract a magnet, and which lacks the hollow point it would need for terminal expansion. The lead-core bullet’s base ends in a boat tail, which simply helps it move through the air with less drag. The ammo can indicates that the bullet is inert – another way of saying it doesn’t contain explosive.
Prvi Partizan is one of the most prominent ammo makers in the industry. Their clients include more than one national militaries, but this particular brass-cased and noncorrosive ammunition was specifically made for the commercial market. -

These nonmagnetic, non-corrosive and brass-cased beauts are all your 5.56 or 223 rifle requires in order to start singing your favorite tune.
If this was a 5.56 round, then it would conform to the military's M193 specs to a T. Its 55 grain FMJ is loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, so it’s going to deliver recoil and ballistic performance that are really familiar to any AR-15 aficionado. Winchester’s FMJ has a cannelure to prevent setback in the magazine, as well as the uniformly distributed lead core and concentric copper alloy jacket that good accuracy both hinge upon.
A lot of people take a look at this ammo’s cases and wonder if it has been previously fired and reloaded. Not so! Winchester just saved time by not polishing the brass after fortifying it via heat treatment. A supple case promotes cleaner performance by expanding to seal off the chamber during ignition, and it reliably returns to its original dimensions so it can serve well at the reloading bench. -

They can’t claim to have made 5.56x45 ammo for quite that long (for reasons we hope we don’t have to explain), but they’ve certainly mastered all the ins and outs of America’s favorite centerfire cartridge!
This is Winchester’s most fundamental kind of 5.56, and therefore absolutely perfect for casual and serious target shooting alike. The M193 spec cartridge sports a 55 grain projectile, which is light enough to achieve a muzzle velocity that is just shy of three times faster than the speed of sound. The full metal jacket projectile’s economical design makes it optimal for high-volume shooting, yet it still provides the consistent accuracy discerning marksmen demand. The non-expanding solid point FMJ is made of lead and copper, thus making this ammo absolutely nonmagnetic.
This ammo’s military-grade brass cases are reloadable, and they have never before seen the light of day. They’re not grayish around their necks because they have previously been fired, but rather because they weren’t polished after they were made more durable via annealing. Noncorrosive Boxer-primed, clean-shooting, and packaged 50 boxes per case of 1,000! -

If you do indeed take a .22 cal approach to deer harvesting – or want a versatile load that you can also use to take boar and smaller critters – then Armscor has already made just what you need!
• This round’s bullet weighs 62 grains. That gives it similar (yet not identical) ballistic performance to the Army’s own M855 load, as well as added momentum for deeper penetration.
• This round’s bullet has a bonded jacket. That makes its lead core and copper-alloy jacket stronger, and accordingly capable of retaining more of their combined weight – yet another feature which promotes deeper penetration.
• This round bullet is a pointed soft point. The sleek projectile overcomes frontal air resistance quite handily, and punctuates its trajectory by dishing out broad terminal expansion.

This is just about the most elemental ammo you could have on hand. Each cartridge is faithfully loaded according to M193 specifications, with a full metal jacket bullet to prevent feeding issues and accelerated barrel leading. You won’t get expansion out of an FMJ, but you’ll still get the kind of terminal ballistics that prove so effective for home defense. At 55 grains this round’s bullet reliably achieves a muzzle velocity in the range of 3,180 fps. That’ll treat you to the satisfyingly flat trajectory you need to thread distant targets.
Winchester’s USA ammo features newly forged brass cases, sensitive and non-corrosive Boxer primers for reloadability, and of course clean-burning powder. Don’t look for any steel in this nonmagnetic ammo – you won’t find it!Customer Reviews

We hate to hear it! That’s why we’ve got just the thing in store to warm it up: 800 rounds of Winchester’s American-made 5.56x45, packaged in four easy to transport boxes. If you bring all this goodness to the range, then you’d might as well pack a lunch while you’re at it!
This ammo’s all about target practice. Its 55 grain bullet and clean-burning powder grant it a muzzle velocity of 3,270 fps – extremely normal for the 5.56x45, and exactly the kind of performance semi-automatic rifles are designed to operate around. You can fall back on ammo like this for home defense should the need ever arise, and you don’t have to worry about its steel-free bullets if you patronize a range with a magnetic ammo ban in effect.
Winchester equips their standard target loads with non-corrosive Boxer primers and freshly drawn and cut brass cases. This is not factory remanufactured ammunition, nor is it military surplus. Any discoloration on its cases is the purely cosmetic result of annealing, a heat-treatment process which yields stronger, more reliable brass. -

As a result, this 1000 bulk pack of 5.56mm has a few features that you won't find in usual lots of inexpensive ammo. These XP193 rounds are great for rainy day storage, high round count classes, practice sessions, fun plinking, and building a ballistic chart close to NATO-spec M193.
Like M193, these XP193 rounds feature 55 grain bullets which are compatible with the widest range of barrel lengths and twists of AR, SCAR, ACR, and other 5.56x45mm chambered rifles. The full metal jacket boat tail (FMJ-BT) projectiles feature a toothed cannelure which prevents round setback during rough handling or repeated loading and live ejection; bullet setback can affect accuracy or even cause catastrophic firearm failure. In addition, the reloadable brass casings have a consistent coat of sealant surrounding their non-corrosive Boxer primers which prevents moisture from entering the cartridge and creating dud rounds. The casings are also annealed for added strength to prevent pressure-induced malfunctions and guarantee long brass life for reloaders.
PMC ammunition is produced in South Korea on some of the same tooling and machines used to supply NATO countries with war-fighting ammo. These bulk packs are highly regarded among American shooters for their inexpensive cost, high reliability, and adherence to M193 specification.

Just like milspec M855, these rounds use 62 grain bullets with light-amor penetrating* steel tips which are painted green for easy identification. As a result, these rounds will match ballistic tables and ballistic drop compensation (BDC) reticles commonly used with modern low power scopes. The reloadable brass casings are annealed at the neck and shoulder for added strength (useful to reloaders) while the non-corrosive Boxer primers are bordered by moisture-blocking sealant. The bullets are full metal jacket (FMJ) and possess toothed cannelures to prevent projectile setback.
PMC is a South Korean based company that sources its ammunition from plants that supply to the ROK military as well as other to other NATO countries. Their X-TAC line is highly regarded for adhering to stringent military specification while still maintaining an inexpensive price for all shooters.
*While this is not armor-penetrating ammunition by definition, some ranges will not allow these rounds to be fired indoors nor outdoors on certain steel targets.

Best M855 I’ve shot

I’ve purchased dozens of cases of PMC XTAC M855 because they shoot great in both my 16” 1:7 spin carbine and my 20” 1;9 barrels. Also, they have EXCELLENT brass cases for reloading and last many reloads/firing cycles.
If you want to store these long term, they are sealed completely and should last for decades if stored in a clean sealed container.
BTW, when I started buying these ~10 years ago, they $.17/rnd. Save your brass even if you don’t reload yourself.Review by Pasky2112 (Posted on 8/14/2021)

This is the best M855 ammo I've ever bought. It's not second class or third class M855 like what Lake City is that the public can purchase. PMC sale first rate M855 to the public at a fair price and it's very clean brass.

Winchester USA 5.56x45 55 Grain FMJ – 1000 Rounds
$499.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 1000 Ammo Caliber 5.56x45mm Manufacturer SKU WM193500 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 00020892228337 Cost Per Round 50¢ per round We dream of a world … a perfect world, where no AR-15 enthusiast ever has to go without the 5.56x45 ammo they need for training, target shooting, plinking and crisis preparation. Unfortunately, that perfect world may never come to be. But have we lost heart? Never! Because so long as Winchester loads 5.56, any shooter can stock up in a big way.
You could join the Army if you wanted M193 spec ammo, but Winchester has made getting your hands on it slightly easier. These rounds are topped off with full metal jackets: each 55 grains, and due to attain a muzzle velocity of 3,180 fps in conjunction with a 20” barrel. The nonmagnetic flat base bullet’s 0.250 G1 BC reflects its ability to reach a 200-yard zero in less than one quarter of one second, and then drop by -7.38” at 300 yards. That flat trajectory is just one of the reasons why so many folks love and swear by the good ol’ five-five-six.
Winchester doesn’t shine up this reloadable ammo’s brass cases after annealing them. That just means you can see the discoloration which proves they were properly heat-treated. Throw in Winchester’s corrosion-free Boxer primers, and you’re in for a real smooth ride.
This is a two-box case of ammo: 500 rounds per case, each weighing 13.3 pounds. -
Winchester USA 223 Rem 62 Grain FMJ – 1000 Rounds

Winchester’s American-made USA 223 Rem ammunition is ready for action in any firearm that can handle it – which quite naturally includes any 5.56x45 carbine you might be itching to take out to the range.
This cartridge is loaded with a 62 grain full metal jacket bullet. It is not an M855 projectile, and therefore can’t attract a magnet. Very useful if you want the full M855 experience at a range where the staff will bonk you over the head for firing magnetic ammo! The heavier bullet’s lower 3,100 fps muzzle velocity is well worth the price of a trajectory that exhibits better resistance to interference from crosswinds.
This ammo’s nicely polished Boxer-primed brass cases should serve you quite well if you’re intent on handloading every cartridge that enters your possession. Check out our awesome selection of .224” bullets if you’re fixing on reloading this ammo! -

You’re either making yours better through regular target practice, or you’re letting it get worse by slacking off.
We’d never accuse you of being a slacker, of course. Look how diligently you’re reading the product descriptions on Widener's – the mark of a real go-getter. We like your style! That’s why we’ll feel proud when we ship you 600 rounds of Winchester’s high-quality 223 Rem range ammunition.
This is just about the most vanilla 223 you could invest your hard-earned money in. It’s loaded with standard 55 grain full metal jacket projectiles: nonmagnetic, non-expanding, and perched above the clean-burning propellant charges they need to clear muzzle at a rate of 3,240 fps (20” bbl). We estimate this round’s FMJ’s G1 ballistic coefficient at 0.274, which stands for a 250-yard trajectory that climaxes around 3.5” above the bore line.
Winchester’s USA series ammo is loaded with primo reloadable cases. If you’re not accustomed to seeing military grade brass, then you may wonder if this ammo’s cases are discolored because they were previously reloaded. They were not. They just weren’t polished up for better cosmetics after they were heat-treated for added suppleness. -

This 223 Rem ammo by Browning is simple, budget-friendly and reliable enough to be of great use for any kind of training, target shooting or plinking applications.
This cartridge is corked with a 55 grain FMJ – the most basic kind of projectile it’s possible for the 223 Rem to have. The FMJ’s gilding metal jacket promotes smooth feeding and slow barrel fouling, and its shank is girdled by a toothed cannelure to ward off setback in the magazine. We recommend this bullet for target shooting, but it’s sure to give small critters a really tough time too. Most importantly, this round’s bullet is completely nonmagnetic, so you have free license to take this ammo to any range of your choosing.
Browning’s clean-burning powder and non-corrosive Boxer primers both do their parts to keep a rifle in better working order. Their brass cases are also freshly manufactured. Pay no mind to the cases’ discolored necks and shoulders – that’s just a harmless byproduct of the annealing process which strengthens brass. -
PMC X-TAC 5.56x45 55 Grain FMJBT – 840 Rounds in Bandolier in Ammo Can

That said, it is made by PMC – the South Korean military’s chief ammo supplier – and it’s certainly packaged like PMC intended it for the front line.
Make no mistake, though: This is brand new ammo. It’s noncorrosive, it’s nonmagnetic, and its reloadable brass cases have never before sparkled in the light of day. Very nice! Each round is armed with the target shooter’s preferred 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail projectile. PMC recorded its 3,270 fps muzzle velocity and 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient with a 20” barrel; aim to 100 yards through 1.5” sights, and drop at 200 yards will be approximately -2.6”.
This ammo is packaged in a new M2A1 ammo can, which will keep its contents fresh and ready for action pretty much indefinitely. One can contains six bandoliers, each of which holds 14 clips. And just like your favorite breakfast cereal from back when you were a kid, there’s a free spoon inside the box! -
Winchester USA 5.56x45 62 Grain FMJ M855 – 1000 Rounds
$524.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Type Penetrator Use Type home defense, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 1000 Ammo Caliber 5.56x45mm Manufacturer SKU WM8551000 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic Yes UPC Barcode 020892228702 Cost Per Round 52.5¢ per round This 5.56x45 ammo by Winchester is magnetic. That’s not because Winchester sought to cut down on production costs by implementing bimetal jackets, but rather because they manufactured these rounds according to M855 specifications!
Each cartridge sports a 62 grain penetrator bullet. Its tip is only green because it is painted, not made of polymer. That indicates the front end of its core is made of pure steel. Steel hardens the bullet’s tip substantially, giving the shooter a huge advantage when he wants to penetrate sheet metal.
Magnetic bullets are not permitted at some indoor ranges because the steel inside them could create sparks or damage range equipment. You’ll want to call ahead to check a range’s policy on magnetic ammo before you take M855 to their premises. Steel can also cause a ricochet, making this ammo a poor choice for tactical training with steel targets!
Our customers are often concerned about the appearance of this ammo’s cases. To be certain, this is not reloaded ammo – the manufacturer just skipped buffing out the grayness on the cases after heat-treating them.Customer Reviews

4 stars on the quality because some of the bullet cases were crushed/deformed. Otherwise great.

Winchester USA 5.56x45 55 Grain FMJ – 500 Rounds

In fact, there’d be even more of them. And so long as we’re dreaming, there would also be free 500-round boxes of Winchester 5.56x45 ammunition given away at every gas station, liquor store and donut shop. Fortunately, until that perfect world exists, you’ll still be able to find plenty of 500-round boxes of Winchester 5.56x45 right here on Widener’s. (It just won’t be free.)
This is simple and true range ammunition, made by the same company which manages the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant on the behalf of the U.S. government. It’s M193 spec, which is only to say that it is loaded with the classic 55 grain full metal jacket bullet. Once that 0.250 G1 BC FMJ accelerates to a velocity of 3,180 fps (the rate at which it exits a 20” barrel), its trajectory only has to rise by 5.2” before hitting a 300-yard target. (If you’ve got 1.5” high sights, that is.)
Each round in this big box is loaded with a military-grade Boxer primer (noncorrosive) and new brass case (reloadable). Winchester didn’t shine the cases’ necks and shoulders up after annealing them, thus providing visual proof that they were created properly. -

That’s enough so we can spend hours meticulously lining up sniper shots, and it’s also spot on for exactly five 30-round mag dumps. Winchester USA 223 really is good for both occasions.
This is basic ammo as far as your AR-15 is concerned, and the foundation of any respectable arsenal. Each round wears a 55 grain bullet that rips out of the barrel at 3,240 fps. That’ll treat you to the flat trajectory the AR-15 is beloved for. The bullet has a full metal jacket, which keeps the lead in its core from touching the barrel and hardens the bullet to prevent deformation during ignition.
We don’t recommend the FMJ, which does not expand, for hunting. And as far as self-defense is concerned, there are better bullets for neutralizing a human-sized threat. But when such bullets are not available, you’ll find an eighth ounce of solid metal striking a target at nearly three times the speed of sound makes quite an impact whichever way you slice it.
A lot of folks look at this ammo’s brass cases and assume they’ve already been fired. But that isn’t the the situation! These military-grade cases are discolored because they’ve been annealed, which makes them more supple for better functionality. This reloadable ammo is also non-corrosive and nonmagnetic, so it offers great value, clean performance, and versatility when it comes to which indoor ranges you can train at. -

M193 ammo is ideal for the rifle range. This round’s 55 grain FMJ projectile is nonmagnetic, non-expanding, and sleek and balanced enough to consistently achieve a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.271. The bullet’s jacket is outfitted with a cannelure, which helps to preserve accuracy as the bullet avoids shifting back in the case mouth under the force of recoil.
We cater to a lot of handloaders here, so we’re always happy to offer ammo with reloadable cases. This ammo’s brass cases haven’t been polished, so you can still see their annealing marks – proof they’re manufactured to hold up under pressure. This ammo has non-corrosive Boxer primers. -

It’s very important. Consider hosting a family board game night every week for this reason. If you really want to bond, try having Thanksgiving dinner once a month as well. It works!
Bullet bonding? It’s also very important. For proof, check out this 223 Rem ammunition by Armscor. Each round’s 62 grain (nonmagnetic) projectile features a bonded lead core and copper-alloy jacket.
If a bonded bullet has to punch through thick clothing, leather, hide, sheet metal, drywall, or some other barrier, then its fused-together jacket and core will keep it more intact. This helps the bullet hold on to the weight and momentum it needs to dig deeply.
The PSP’s talents aren’t limited to reliable penetration. It is also an expanding bullet, and capable of creating an extensive wound channel that deals even greater damage to the target. These American-made cartridges’ new brass cases create even better value, as they are reloadable (and we’ve got just the component bullets for the job). -

The Italian manufacturer pours intense quality into each of their rounds’ components, so this one’s factory fresh brass casing, sensitive and non-corrosive primer, and clean burning propellant are all poised to make your precious time at the range as rewarding as can be.
This is an M193 cartridge, the same type that is commonly issued for field use in the M16A1 rifle. Its lead alloy core is wrapped in a gilded metal jacket, so it can penetrate many types of common barriers and prevent excessive fouling from quickly impacting your firearm’s accuracy. This bullet further features a tapered base, and as the result is highly accurate courtesy of its flattened trajectory, ability to resist the influence of cross winds, and tendency to keep much of its velocity even after having flown far downrange. -

When you need high quality rounds, you can always bank on Hornady. The old Nebraskan master has one of the tightest quality assurance protocols that we know about, and that really shows in their products’ consistently great performance.
This 223 Rem cartridge has a 55 grain projectile. The bullet’s jacket is drawn extremely concentrically, which along with its fast 3,240 fps muzzle velocity assures a flat and accurate trajectory. This bullet’s jacket further serves to promote certain feeding through a semi-automatic, and to prevent rapid fouling within the bore as well. This round’s military grade primer and propellant both burn clean to preserve a rifle’s action, and its brand new brass casing is ready for multiple trips across the reloading bench. -

But that’s not the case with Winchester’s American-made 5.56x45 M855 ammo. This round’s bullet features a partial steel core, which enables it to reliably pass through sheet metal at ranges within 650 yards!
This round’s bullet weighs in at 62 grains, which is heavier than average for a 5.56 load. The bullet’s superior momentum confers a flatter trajectory, which is also better protected against the straying effects of crosswinds. An AR-15 or other rifle with a 1:9 or 1:8 rate of twist is ideal for a 62 grain load like this, but a faster twist won’t keep you from hitting your targets by any means.
This military-grade ammo is loaded with low-residue powder and non-corrosive Boxer primers, as well as newly produced brass cases. The reloadable brass cases weren’t polished before they were shipping out, which is why you can plainly see where they were heat-treated. -

This cartridge delivers the primo accuracy and devastating terminal fragmentation that put a fast end to any meddlesome varmint’s days here on earth.
This round’s bullet weighs only 40 grains, so it tears out of the barrel at a rate of 3,600 fps. That’s about 10 percent faster than your standard 55gr load, so you’re going to notice a significantly flatter trajectory. The bullet’s streamlined polymer tip and flat base both enhance its accuracy even further, so you’ll have the precision you need to pick off small and elusive beasts.
This bullet’s polymer tip is positioned to completely disrupt its thin copper jacket and solid lead core on impact. Its metallic components turn into sharp shrapnel and burst outward during penetration – bomb-like terminal ballistics that absolutely devastate small game!
This brass-cased, noncorrosive, Boxer-primed and clean-firing ammo is made in America and comes 10 boxes to a case. Great for hunting with 5.56 AR-style rifles and any other 5.56/223 device you could name! -

Federal American Eagle 223 Rem 62 Grain FMJ-BT - 500 Rounds
$314.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Federal Condition New Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU AE223N Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 50029465093483 Cost Per Round 63¢ per round These .223 Remington rounds from Federal utilize many of the features that go into premium 5.56x45mm milspec rounds but without the increased cost. Each round is built using a reloadable brass casing mated to a non-corrosive Boxer primer via solid seating and primer sealant; this compound prevents moisture from penetrating through to reach the clean-burning propellant. The casings are also firmly crimped to the toothed cannelure of each bullet to prevent setback and optimize reliability.
The projectile used in this cartridge design is a non-penetrating, 62 grain full metal jacket boat tail (FMJ-BT) bullet that is not attracted to a magnet. The rear curvature of the FMJ-BT shape resists drag and is less susceptible to in-flight shift. This combines with a well-studied 62 grain weight to provide shooters with accurate and predictable ballistic performance. Federal's American Eagle line is intended to be a low-cost plinking solution that doesn't skip out on quality enhancements.

Armscor USA 223 Rem 55 Grain PSP – 20 Rounds
$12.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Armscor Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Pointed Soft-Point (PSP) Use Type home defense, plinking at the range, varmint hunting Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU AC223-2N Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 812285021898 Cost Per Round 64.2¢ per round There’s a natural order to things. You need 223 Rem ammo. Widener’s sends you 223 Rem ammo. Don’t disrupt the laws of reality. Order as many boxes of Armscor USA as you like!
Armscor hasn’t done anything strange or unlikeable with this ammo. It just works. This round’s 55 grain bullet hits 3,100 fps muzzle velocity (out of a test barrel of unspecified length) and proceeds to use its low-drag spitzer profile to promote a flat trajectory and high downrange energy retention. The bullet contains zero steel, so you can use it to tap targets at any indoor range on the map.
The bullet will exhibit its greatest value if you use it for hunting smaller game or home defense. As a pointed soft point, it’s armed with the unjacketed lead tip which produces rapid expansion (and probably a little shrapnel as well). It’s the most affordable style of hunting bullet, and an exceedingly effective one at that!
New brass! Noncorrosive primers! The option to handload! It’s all in a day’s work for this American-made SAAMI spec 223 Rem ammunition. -

Fiocchi 223 Rem 62 Grain FMJBT – 50 Rounds
$32.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Fiocchi Condition New Bullet Weight 62 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 50 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU 223C Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 762344706580 Cost Per Round 65.7¢ per round Do you frequent a rifle range that forbids magnetic ammunition on its premises, but still want to fire 5.56x45 M855 ammunition? Lo and behold – the perfect substitute, courtesy of Fiocchi! This Missouri-made 223 Rem range ammunition is loaded with 62 grain bullets and delivers a muzzle velocity of 3,000 fps. Those stats make this nonmagnetic ammo’s ballistic performance almost indistinguishable from that of our military’s penetrator load!
This round’s bullet is more than just nonmagnetic. As a full metal jacket boat tail it features a slightly tapered base which minimizes drag to help conserve downrange momentum, an evenly distributed jacket and core which assure satisfactory in-flight stability, and a ballistically efficient solid point profile. Don’t expect terminal expansion from an FMJBT – but don’t expect a varmint to survive an encounter with one, either.
Fiocchi fits each one of these rounds with a virgin brass case, noncorrosive Boxer primer and charge of low-residue propellant. A swell choice for any 5.56/223 rifle, semi-automatic or otherwise!Customer Reviews

Hornady Frontier 223 Rem 55 Grain HP Match – 500 Rounds
$329.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Hollow-Point (HP) Use Type match or precision shooting, plinking at the range Casing Type Brass Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU FR140 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 10090255711346 Cost Per Round 66¢ per round Frontier ammunition is loaded for Hornady by the U.S. government’s own Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. It’s high quality stuff – especially when Hornady arms it with their superior HP Match projectiles!
This round’s 55 grain hollow point is not designed to expand as it penetrates soft tissue. The narrow opening in its nose indicates that the bullet’s swaged lead core is perfectly form-fitted to its jacket, where it was poured into place. The HP Match’s evenly distributed core is complemented by Hornady’s signature AMP jacket, which is a virtually perfectly concentric copper shell.
This balanced bullet is also extremely aerodynamic. Its graceful secant ogive geometry gives way to a ballistically efficient boat tail. When the bullet is fired through a 24” barrel to achieve a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.254, its velocity remains at least Mach 2 until it reaches the 275-yard line!
This ammo’s uniform brass cases ensure smooth cycling through any bolt-action or semi-auto, and its matched primers and propellant serve up consistent recoil and ballistics. One 500 round case is divided among 25 boxes, so you can pass some along to your range pals (but you won’t want to). -

PMC 223 Rem 55 Grain PSP – 200 Rounds
$134.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer PMC Condition New Bullet Weight 55 Grain Bullet Type Pointed Soft-Point (PSP) Use Type hunting boar, hunting whitetail deer Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 223 Remington Manufacturer SKU 223SP Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No Cost Per Round 67.4¢ per round Regular old ball ammo is all well and good for the rifle range. But when your aim is to cut down a buck or a hog with your trusty 223 Rem rifle, an FMJ just ain’t gonna cut it. You need ammo with bullets that can deliver terminal expansion – nothing less than PMC Bronze, in fact!
This ammo hails from the nation of South Korea, and it’s loaded with a medium game hunter’s best friend: the pointed soft point bullet. Each 55 grain PSP attains a consistent muzzle velocity of ~3,200 fps upon clearing a 24” barrel, which is why its ballistic performance is not at all unlike that of a conventional FMJ. But thanks to its lead tip, the PSP is able to follow up impact with fast positive expansion. Shot placement always counts, but you can rest assured the PSP’s terminal ballistics will get the job done right.
PMC loads ammo with the same kinds of components you’d expect from any American manufacturer. That includes steel-free nonmagnetic projectiles, virgin reloadable brass cases, and Boxer primers that cannot produce corrosive residue. Order your case of 10 boxes today and have at it! -

The cartridges are also constructed from reloadable, annealed brass casings and non-corrosive Boxer primers set in with sealant which keeps moisture from reaching the inside of the case.
PMC sources this ammo from South Korea where it is produced on the same time-proven machines that make ammo for the Korean military as well as for NATO territories. Many U.S. shooters love PMC ammo for its reliability, high quality construction, and affordable cost.

NOT for Indoor Ranges or Steel Targets
-
You can NOT shoot this ammo at an indoor range or steel targets because this ammo was made to penetrate steel. This ammo was clean, accurate and I have never had any malfunctions. I chronographed this ammo and the velocity was consistent. I would highly recommend and this brass is great for reloading, so make sure to collect it.
