500 Rounds of 75gr BTHP 5.56x45 Ammo by Hornady

Imagine you’re a settler, heading out west in search of a nice piece of bottom land where you can start a new life for yourself. Your covered wagon would be full enough without a separate type of ammunition for every conceivable purpose -- you would want one versatile round, as able to take down a bison as it would a coyote, and even to defend yourself against the frontier’s more dangerous threats. That’s the concept behind Hornady’s T2 Frontier line of ammunition: One versatile cartridge that you could use for everything.

We’re not claiming that this 223 Rem cartridge would be the one to reach for to drop a rugged bison, but it is a very handy round nonetheless. This round’s 75 grain bullet is a little heavy for its caliber, so expect it to kick a bit and deliver good downrange momentum. The bullet’s boat tail design significantly boosts its ballistic coefficient, so it’s highly accurate and resistant to wind drift, and its hollow point permits it to deliver devastating terminal performance.

Without charging too much, the Nebraskan manufacturer has packed a lot of value into this round. Its factory fresh brass casing is perfectly reloadable, its military grade primer provides reliable ignition, and its propellant delivers a consistent chamber pressure that best complements its caliber’s performance.
