500 Rounds of 55gr FMJBT .223 Ammo by Hornady

More Details About This Hornady 55gr FMJBT .223 Ammo

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.
