600rds – 223 Rem Federal Black Pack 55gr. FMJ Ammo

Federal Ammunition 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Ammo Details

There are so many kinds of packs. Snack Packs, which contain pudding. Rat Packs, which contain singers. Blood packs, which contain vampire food. The list goes on!

But of all those packs, only one contains 223 Remington target ammunition. We’re talking about Federal’s Black Packs, which contain 150 rounds a piece. And this case of ammo contains four Black Packs! Gadzooks!

This ammo is made in Minnesota, and it truly doesn’t do anything outside of the ordinary. Each cartridge is loaded with a 55 grain bullet, so you’re signing up for that known and loved 3,240 fps muzzle velocity with each shot. The bullet is a full metal jacket, which has a solid lead core and a 100% copper-alloy jacket. In other words, this ammo is as nonmagnetic as the teeth in your head (assuming you don’t have braces, or solid steel teeth like the scary dude in that one James Bond movie).

This round’s muzzle velocity was recorded with a 24” barrel. Under that circumstance, the bullet’s 0.269 G1 BC ensures that it retains around 51% velocity at 500 yards, and remains supersonic until approximately 780.

Federal’s high-quality brass behaves itself in all makes and models of firearms. Better yet, it is reloadable, which means … well, it means you can reload it, which is a great way to save money. Spend the money you save by handloading on pudding!
