50rds – 223 Rem Remington UMC 45gr. JHP Ammo

Remington Ammunition 45 Grain Jacketed Hollow-Point (JHP) Ammo Details

The name of the game? Small game. The caliber of the rifle? 223 Rem (or possibly 5.56x45). The ammunition you need? Looking right atcha, pal!

UMC is Remington’s no-frills hunting materiel. Instead of paying extra for the V-MAX, ELD-VT, AccuTip-V, or Ballistic Tip Varmint, you’re paying for the less fancy (but still plenty effective) terminal ballistics of a good old-fashioned jacketed hollow point.

That JHP’s got a lead core, copper jacket, and nose cavity on its tip. It needs nothing more to initiate expansion on impact, and probably shed a few pieces of shrapnel as it enters into its target as well. Prairie dogs? Woodchucks? Coyotes? This JHP’s the sworn enemy of those creatures and many more.

Lightweight bullets like this ammo’s aren’t your best friend for long distance. But within a reasonable range, you’re bound to love the 3,550 fps MV JHP’s flat-as-a-tabletop trajectory. Its 0.173 G1 BC represents 68% velocity retention at 200 yards, at which range striking energy becomes 590 ft lbs.
