500rds – 223 Rem Federal Tactical TRU 69gr. HPBT MatchKing Ammo

Federal Ammunition 69 Grain Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Ammo Details

Federal designed their Tactical TRU series ammunition to stand up to the rigors of law enforcement. That’s why it’s loaded with low-flash propellant that doesn’t disturb night vision, high-strength (and repeatedly reloadable) brass cases, and crimped primers that don’t back out to lock up a semi-automatic rifle. And the best thing of all? This military-quality ammo can become yours even if you aren’t an officer of the law!

Federal loads this particular Tactical TRU 223 Rem ammo with Sierra’s super-accurate MatchKing projectiles. Make no mistake: although it does resemble a jacketed hollow point, the MatchKing is not capable of terminal expansion and is not intended for hunting. Its jacket is too thin to enable very deep penetration, but it is extremely concentric to promote peak gyroscopic stability. The heavyweight 69 grain bullet also features a injection-molded lead core which begets even greater stability, as well as a boat tail to ensure higher velocity retention downrange – key if you’re firing outdoors where it’s windy.

By our measure, this ammo has a G1 0.306 (G7 0.154 G7) ballistic coefficient. No transonic destabilization until approximately 800 yards, so you can really reach out and touch your target!
