223 Rem – 55 Gr HPBT – Federal Tactical TRU (XMT223E) – 500 Rounds

Want accurate, dependable 223 ammo built with law enforcement features for your AR-15? Pick up this 500 round case of Federal Tactical TRU XMT223E 223 Remington 55 grain Sierra GameKing hollow point boat tail ammo.

Federal’s TRU line is built specifically for semi-automatic rifles. The cases use crimped primers, which lock the primer in place so it cannot back out and jam your rifle during rapid fire. That is a feature you normally find only in military and duty ammunition. For the bullet, Federal chose the 55 grain Sierra GameKing hollow point boat tail. Sierra builds its GameKing bullets on the same equipment as its famous MatchKing target bullets, so accuracy is excellent. The boat tail reduces drag and wind drift, and the hollow point gives it rapid expansion on varmints and predators like coyotes and groundhogs. Federal rates this load at 3,220 fps and 1,266 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.

The 223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO are the standard chamberings for the AR-15, and they are also found in bolt-action rifles like the Ruger American Ranch, Savage Axis, Tikka T3x, and CZ 600. Rifles marked 5.56 NATO or 223 Wylde can safely fire both 223 and 5.56 ammunition, while rifles marked 223 Rem only should be fed 223 Remington. This load is a strong all-around choice for AR owners who want one accurate, reliable round for training, varmint hunting, and predator control. Since you should practice with the same ammo you hunt with, a 500 round case lets you zero, run drills, and hunt with a single consistent lot, so your point of impact never changes when you head to the field.

This American-made Federal ammo is new production, brass-cased, Boxer-primed, and non-corrosive. The fired brass is reloadable, although the crimped primer pockets need to be swaged first. Each box holds 20 rounds, and twenty-five boxes make up this 500 round case.
