500 Rounds of 55gr FMJ .223 Ammo by Remington UMC

Pretty much anyone who owns an AR-15 becomes a high volume shooter by default. That rifle’s excellent accuracy, practically negligible recoil, and extreme modifiability means that it makes every range session a hoot, and we don’t use the term “hoot” lightly.

But just because you’re going to fire a lot of rounds doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice one thing when it comes to their quality -- and that’s where Remington’s UMC line of rifle ammunition comes into play. These 223 Rem cartridges are manufactured in Loanoke, AR using only the finest reloadable brass casings, consistent primers, and clean burning propellant which is carefully measured to provide consistent results shot after shot.

This round’s 55 grain projectile may be considered the standard weight for its caliber. The bullet sports a full metal jacket, making it ideal for day long range use because it will prevent the rapid accumulation of lead residue in your bore that would have deteriorated your accuracy with time. This bullet’s stellar penetrative ability makes it great for plinking with tough targets, but far less so for self-defense where bystander safety is of concern.
