223 Rem – 75 gr Heavy Match HP – Black Hills (D223N6) – 500 Rounds

The Black Hills 75 grain heavy match load has a long reputation among precision AR shooters and competitors. This listing is Black Hills 223 Remington 75 grain Heavy Match hollow point ammo, MPN D223N6, sold as 500 rounds. It is a match load for shooters who want an accurate, heavy bullet from a 223 bolt gun or AR-15 at mid to long range, whether for competition, training, or just tight groups.

Black Hills rates this load at 2,750 fps with 1,259 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 75 grain match hollow point is long and streamlined, giving it better wind resistance and retained velocity than 55 or 62 grain bullets. Match hollow points are designed for accuracy, and the hollow point comes from how the jacket is formed rather than for controlled expansion, so this is not a hunting load. It is built for paper, steel, and precision practice out to several hundred yards.

It fits rifles chambered in 223 Remington and those marked 5.56 NATO or 223 Wylde with a 1 in 7 or 1 in 8 twist, including AR-15s from Colt, Daniel Defense, Rainier Arms, and JP Enterprises, plus bolt actions such as the Tikka T3x Varmint and Savage 12 with fast twist barrels. A common question is whether Black Hills 75 grain fits standard AR magazines. Yes. It is loaded for magazine length. Another common question is whether 223 match ammo can be used in a 5.56 rifle. Yes. 223 Remington is safe in a 5.56 chamber.

Black Hills D223N6 is new production ammunition, not remanufactured, made in the USA by Black Hills in Rapid City, South Dakota. Cases are reloadable brass with boxer primers, and the load is non-corrosive. This listing ships as 500 rounds from one lot, which is enough to build a reliable data book and shoot a full season of matches without changing loads.
