150 Rounds of .223 Ammo by Hornady Frontier - 55gr FMJ

Hornady is famous across every square inch of the shooting world for their revolutionary bullet designs. Whitetail-slapping monolithics? Ultra-accurate aluminum-tipped tack drivers? JHPs that use polymer to shield their nose cavities against debris compaction? All in a day’s work for Nebraska’s favorite ammo manufacturer!

But Hornady’s not just about high-tech bullets. Their mission to occupy every gun’s chamber extends to loading the simpler kind of materiel you’d want for informal target shooting. That’s Hornady’s Frontier label 223 Rem, in a nutshell.

This cartridge is loaded with a 55 grain full metal jacket. Lead core. Copper coat. Conventional 3,240 fps muzzle velocity out of a 24” test barrel, with 0.243 G1 BC that dictates -7.2” drop 100 yards downrange of a 200-yard zero, assuming 1.5” sight height. It’s about as close as 223 Rem can get to our military’s M193 specification. In other words, it’s the most popular variety of 223 for target shooting on earth.

Hornady’s premium brass cases and clean-burning explosives work great in any firearm! Pump this stuff into your budget AR-15 or precision bolt gun. You’ll like what happens next no matter what. And hey! If apocalypse preparedness sounds like a good idea to you, then you certainly won’t be disadvantaged by keeping a few boxes of Frontier somewhere dark and dry.
