223 Rem – 55 gr SP – Winchester Super-X (X223R) – 200 Rounds

A 55 grain soft point is a versatile 223 hunting load for coyotes, groundhogs, and other varmints, and Winchester Super-X is one of the classic choices. This listing is Winchester Super-X 223 Remington 55 grain jacketed soft point ammo, MPN X223R, sold as a 200 round case.

Winchester rates this load at 3,240 fps with 1,282 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The jacketed soft point bullet has an exposed lead nose that starts expansion on impact, while the jacket controls it, transferring energy quickly on small and medium game. The 55 grain weight shoots flat and stabilizes in nearly every 223 twist rate, including older 1:12 barrels. It is a dependable, affordable load for predator calling, pest control, and general varmint hunting, and the soft point expands more reliably than FMJ.

This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, or 223 Wylde, including AR-15 rifles, the Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle and American Ranch, Savage Axis and 110, Remington 700, Winchester XPR, Tikka T3x, Mossberg Patriot, and CZ 527. A common question is whether this load is good for deer. Some states allow the 223 for deer, but many hunters prefer a heavier, controlled-expansion bullet such as Winchester’s 64 grain Power-Point for that use; check your state’s rules. Another common question is whether 223 soft points are safe in a 5.56 rifle. Yes. A 5.56 or 223 Wylde chamber fires 223 Remington safely.

Winchester X223R is new production ammunition, not reloads, made in the USA. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. This case comes in factory packaging as 10 boxes of 20 rounds for a total of 200 rounds of 223 Rem 55 grain JSP. Buying by the case lets you sight in and hunt with the same lot all season, with consistent zero.
