500 Rounds of Bulk 62gr FMJ .223 Ammo by Wolf

The .223 Remington round was created in 1964 by, of course, Remington Arms. One of the most common points of confusion about this cartridge is its similarities to the 5.56 NATO round, but those are easily explained. Although the .223 and 5.56 appear similar on the outside, they do have significant differences internally. For instance, the 5.56 has a longer throat than the .223, and, more importantly, it’s loaded to higher internal pressures than the .223. Because of that, 5.56 rounds should not be fired in guns rated only for .223 ammunition.

These are Full Metal Jacket rounds and will not expand on impact, but they are prone to over-penetration as all target rounds are so it’s a good idea to have a trustworthy backstop in place at the range, whether indoors or outdoors. Each of these rounds flies down-range with a muzzle velocity of 3025 feet per second and impacts its targets with a muzzle energy of 1260 foot-pounds. These rounds are great for target practice, shooting drills, and plinking, because some days you just want to blow away a bunch of water jugs and paint cans.
