50rds – 223 Rem Hornady American Gunner 55gr. HP Ammo

Hornady Ammunition 55 Grain Hollow Point Ammo Details

You don’t go to the range to miss. You go to the range to hit nothing but bullseyes and make other shooters’ marksmanship look inadequate compared to your own. And it all comes naturally to you. All you need is your eagle eye, your perfect coordination, your 223 Rem (or 5.56x45 rifle), and as many boxes of Hornady American Gunner ammo as you care to order from AmmoToGo.com.

Think of this target load’s 55 grain hollow point as an upgrade over a full metal jacket. Like an FMJ, the HP isn’t really built to deliver terminal expansion as it sinks through its target. It’ll knock any varmint’s socks off – and we mean way, way off – but it won’t give you the terminal performance you’d want for taking larger game.

Where the HP really excels is in the accuracy department. The little bullet’s copper-alloy shell was created first and then filled with lead. That means it has a fully jacketed base which will not deform while it is cooked by propellant heat, as well as a core that doesn’t possess little bubbles or other deviations in its weight distribution.

Once this round’s bullet hits a 3,240 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24” barrel, it’s not going to rise higher than 0.5” above the bore line before colliding with a 100-yard target. The old Nebraskan company’s bullets have cannelures to keep them firmly seated in their brass cases – virgin reloadable brass cases, to be precise!
