20 Rounds of 35gr Polymer Tipped .223 Ammo by Hornady

Having a stash of 223 ammunition to protect your home and your property is a great idea – especially in rural areas. Coyotes prey on all number of farm animals and pets, and even if you’ve never seen one drag off a newborn foal or lamb it’s easy to understand why they’re considered both varmints and predators. Many land owners have a problem with coyotes, but taking care of the problem isn’t quite as simple as some other game. Coyotes are fast and tough – with emphasis on their speed – so if you’re going to hunt them you’d better have your gun loaded with a round that’s up to the speedy task. That’s where Hornady comes in.

These particular Hornady rounds are made for your .223 Remington. At 35 grain they’re incredibly lightweight which enables them to fly towards targets at fantastic speeds. In fact, Hornady lists these rounds as traveling at speeds between 100 and 200 feet per second greater than similar rounds. These are Hornady’s NTX rounds, delivering rapid energy transfer and devastating expansion immediately upon impact. Each round leaves the barrel of your gun at the incredible muzzle velocity of 4000 feet per second and hits home with a muzzle energy of 1243 foot-pounds. If you’re looking to hunt coyotes or other varmints, Hornady NTX is the way to go.

When you place your order for this single box of ammunition you get 20 rounds, which is just enough to load a magazine or two and get a little predator clean-up going. If you want to spend more extensive time hunting or need to get some target practice in, which is highly recommended given the unique weight and ballistics of these rounds, you’ll want to order multiple boxes. Hornady has been manufacturing ammunition since 1949 and has a stellar reputation in the industry. Production takes place at their longtime factory in Grand Island, Nebraska, and all ammunition undergoes extensive testing and strict quality control. If you want to go after coyotes, you need speed, and with Hornady NTX that’s just what you get.
