20rds – 223 Rem Federal American Eagle 55gr. FMJBT Ammo

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

American Eagle. It doesn’t always mean chichi flannel shirts and jean jackets for college freshmen. When it’s made by Federal, it’s proper good range ammo for your firearm of choice. And if that happens to be an AR-15, then we believe this 223 Rem ammo (which is also suitable for 5.56 rifles) will put a big old grin on your face.

This cartridge has been decked out with a 55 grain FMJBT bullet. It’s really the most popular kind of 223 bullet because it’s so simple, just a lead core with a copper alloy jacket that together are nonmagnetic and accurate enough for rewarding target shooting. The bullet’s narrowing base makes it more ballistically efficient, and thus promotes the velocity retention you want for a flatter trajectory during long-distance shooting.

American Eagle cartridges have brass cases, so they spark up cleaner and retain value as handloading components once they spit out of a chamber. This new production ammo is non-corrosive and clean burning to minimize impact on a rifle.
