500rds – 223 Rem Federal American Eagle 55gr. FMJBT Ammo

Federal Ammunition 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail (FMJ-BT) Ammo Details

Looking for something a step above the usual steel-cased stuff which AR-15 enthusiasts so often pump through their rifles? Then you want Federal American Eagle 223 Rem! This ammo is brass-cased for reloadability’s sake, nonmagnetic for compliance at all ranges, 100% noncorrosive, and made in the greatest country on earth.

Federal loads their essential target shooting cartridge with a 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail projectile. With its 3,240 fps muzzle velocity, it attains a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.269; in simple terms that means it delivers the level trajectory which makes target shooting easy yet satisfying.

The bullet’s tapering base actually lets it retain more momentum downrange, and its hard copper alloy jacket resists deforming while the bullet is feeding or getting blasted by strong pressure. An FMJ is not equipped to expand as it tunnels into soft tissue – but it will fragment, if it hits its target fast enough.
