500rds – 223 Rem Brown Bear 55gr. FMJ Ammo Details

Looking for a real steal on 223 Rem ammunition? Choose Brown Bear! It’s made in Russia by Barnaul, and it’s made with lots of real steel!

Whenever a cartridge utilizes steel components instead of ones that traditionally contain copper, you’re going to see it reflected in its price tag. This round’s 55 grain full metal jacket has a conventional lead core, but it has a bi-metal jacket instead of a gilding metal one. With the exception of its thin copper-washed exterior, a bi-metal jacket is made of pure steel. Why is that important? Because many ranges ban bullets that can attract a magnet! That’s just to say that you may not want this ammo if your favorite range won’t let you fire it there.

This ammo’s cases are made of steel instead of brass. Now, steel cases aren’t as elastic as brass ones, which means two things: they’re not reloadable, and they let more fouling enter a rifle’s action. But if you don’t handload and don’t mind spending a little extra time cleaning your gear, those aren’t huge shortcomings.

This ammunition is loaded with Berdan primers. They are sealed for greater water resistance in storage, and more importantly they are completely noncorrosive. You get 25 boxes of this handy target ammo when you order the case of 500!
