Details
This is essential 223 Rem ammunition for any AR-15 chambered for 5.56x45. Federal’s military grade American Eagle label cartridges always treat a shooter to satisfying reliability and accuracy while they’re doing productive things at the range.
This cartridge has a 55 grain bullet and 3,240 fps muzzle velocity, so its performance is pretty much apples-to-apples the same as our military’s 5.56x45 ball M193 ammunition. The bullet has a copper alloy jacket for smooth feeding, a cannelure to prevent setback in the magazine, and a boat tail which enhances its ability to retain more momentum downrange.
Federal loads nonmagnetic bullets – no need to fret about whether this ammo will pass your range’s magnet test. This ammo is specifically marketed for target shooting, but this type of bullet does have a habit of fragmenting inside of soft tissue at close range.
These rounds’ brass cases are discolored, but only because new military grade cases are not polished after they have been fortified via heat treatment. You can certainly reload American Eagle brass once their spent non-corrosive Boxer primers have been popped out.

After shooting 250 rounds with no misfires from the 500 rounds I had ordered with same Ruger Bolt that I had the misfires with, I would say Federal redeemed themselves, all went bang reliably and were accurate, as for BulkAmmo my comment still stands. (Posted on 11/29/2021)

Shot 50 rounds of this out of a Ruger American Predator (rifle never misses a beat) 1 out of 10 miss fired, all primers punched. Not happy being that I ordered 500 of these before I shot this 100 pack. Maybe just got a bad batch of primers, when they lit off they were quite accurate.Will update after shooting the 500 rounds,was disappointed with Federal for sure. As far as Bulk Ammo is concerned, love them, fast shipping is outstanding, 15,000 rounds and counting, on time,every time. (Posted on 11/13/2021)
