500 Rounds of 55gr FMJBT .223 Ammo by Hornady

Hornady has one mission when they load Custom series ammunition at their Nebraska factory: to match the consistency and quality of expertly handloaded ammo. In other words, if you want to feed your AR filet mignon the next time to take it on a date to the range, then this 223 Rem ammo will more than suffice!

This cartridge isn’t designated as M193, although its specs are apples-to-apples the same as the U.S. Army’s standard range load. Each cartridge is topped with a 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail projectile: 3,240 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24” test barrel, and resultant 0.243 G1 BC which secures -2.9” drop 100 yards downrange of a 100-yard zero (with 1.5” sight height).

The FMJBT bullet does not undergo terminal expansion. Even so, it’s more than powerful enough to send any varmint into early retirement, and we can think of much worse tools to have during a home defense situation.

This ammo is loaded with new, fully polished and reloadable brass cases, as well as fresh noncorrosive Boxer primers that won’t rust up your favorite bang-bang machine. This case of ammo is divided across 10 individual boxes.
