223 Rem – 55 Gr FMJ-BT – PPU (PP223M) – 800 Rounds

PPU has become one of the most popular names for affordable brass cased 223 Remington, and the 55 grain FMJ boat tail is its everyday training load. This listing is PPU 223 Rem 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail ammo, MPN PP223M, sold as 800 rounds. That quantity is sized for AR-15 owners who run carbine classes, shoot local matches, or simply practice often.

The 55 grain FMJ-BT is the standard weight for 223 Remington practice. A boat tail base gives the bullet a sleeker profile than a flat base, which helps it hold velocity and resist wind at longer distances. The full metal jacket keeps the bullet intact and the action clean, and it feeds reliably from standard magazines. Because the bullet does not expand, this is training and target ammunition, not a hunting or self defense load. It is well suited to paper, steel at a safe distance, and zeroing practice.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 223 Remington or 5.56 NATO, including AR-15 rifles and pistols from Colt, Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Springfield, BCM, and Aero Precision, the Ruger Mini-14, IWI Tavor, and bolt action rifles such as the Ruger American Ranch and Savage Axis. A common question is whether PPU 223 runs in a gas piston rifle or a Mini-14. Brass cased 55 grain FMJ is the load most semi-autos are designed around, so it generally runs well. Another common question is whether you can shoot 223 on a steel target. Yes, at the minimum distances your range sets for rifle steel, and never on mild or damaged plates.

PPU PP223M is new production ammunition, not reloads, made by Prvi Partizan in Serbia. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and non-corrosive components, so the brass is worth collecting if you reload. The listing ships as 800 rounds from one lot, giving consistent function and point of impact through a full season of training.
