Detailed Analysis:
What Shooters Praise (The Pros)
The vast majority of reviewers experienced zero misfires or malfunctions, even when firing thousands of rounds through a variety of rifles, including both AR-15s and Mini-14s. Isolated reports of misfires or reliability issues were almost always traced back to firearm-specific issues (such as a faulty hammer spring) rather than the ammunition itself. Reliability is frequently singled out as a standout attribute.
Performance is widely praised, with multiple users reporting tight groups (often 1–3 inches at 50–100 yards) and consistent accuracy. While a few note the occasional flyer or dented case in loose-packed rounds, these do not affect normal operation. The ammo is considered well-suited for both slow and rapid fire, and functions cleanly in semi-auto and full-auto platforms. Most reports mention clean burning and ease of cleanup.
This ammo is consistently regarded as a good-to-excellent value for the quality and reliability provided. Prices are seen as competitive, especially when purchased in bulk, although some mention that prices are higher compared to the past. The combination of product quality and customer service adds substantial value for most buyers.
What to Know (The Nuances)
- Cleanliness is considered above average for bulk ammo, with most finding it burns clean but a few noting moderate fouling depending on firearm
- Brass casings are the norm, which most reviewers appreciate for reloadability; reloader satisfaction is repeatedly mentioned
- Some rounds arrive loose-packed in bags, leading to minor cosmetic dents; these are not found to impact function
- Shipping is routinely described as exceptionally fast and well-packaged; customer service exceeds expectations for many
- Occasional reports of slight under- or over-count (±3 rounds in 1000) but not a major concern
- Price is often referenced as fair to excellent for the current market, with a few wishing for free shipping or further discounts
Conclusion
Federal's bulk .223 ammunition is a top choice for shooters seeking reliable, accurate, and reloadable rounds for range and recreational use. The consistent performance, clean shooting characteristics, and excellent customer service make this an attractive purchase for anyone with AR-platform rifles or similar firearms. While there are minor points—such as price fluctuations and loose-packed presentation—these are outweighed by the high reliability, reloader-friendly brass, and fast, dependable shipping. Highly recommended for those prioritizing worry-free target practice and volume shooting.

I'm a relatively new ar-15 user, and I'm just starting out and learning as I go. There is so much information available and it's overwhelming at times. I've purchased ammo from local gun clubs, big box stores, and retail sports chains. I found bulkammo.com and that all changed. I will never frequent those providers again....with the exception of the local gun clubs...I will continue to support my local gun shops for parts, accessories, and service. But when it come to ammo, there is no question who I'll use. The website has good information available about the different rounds, and the comments were helpful too. I just received my order of 1000 rounds only 48-hours after it was ordered. It was packed well, it was delivered very quickly, and after shooting 150-rounds with no failures, jams, or problems of any type, I can say that I am extremely pleased with my purchase and my decision to do business bulkammo.com. I have used .40 American Eagle rounds for my hand guns and been very pleased with their price and performance. I would have to admit that my experience with their products influenced by decision to make this purchase too...and I will do so again. Thank you BulkAmmo and I look forward to making another purchase as soon as my ears stop ringing. :) Have Fun, Be Safe. (Posted on 7/26/2016)

I was tired of dealing with delays from another company I have dealt with for years. They'd say they had the product only to find they actually didn't... It was on back order or some guy just before you bought everything and the site would still let you put your order through.
I was so frustrated I found this site through a friend that swore by it. Even though I still was a believer in the other company I was dealing with, I sent an order in for the Loose Packed Lake City 1000 round box. It also happened to be on sale which was an added bonus. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I dared the company to impress me in the comment section when ordering. Explaining my disappointment in the other site and how I had to have the ammo for a shoot soon... All I have to say is WOW. I already knew the ammo would be great because primarily all I shoot unless I can get equal amounts of Norma on sale (very rare). But not only did I get the great ammo, I got an email from one of the team members just before I got a shipping notification... Saying I would be impressed. I ordered the ammo at 3 am at night (spent a lot of years on night and overseas, so I'm up a lot at those times). By the time I woke up at 9 AM I already had a ship doc and traceable shipping number. The other company I deal with takes 2 days to complete that. And within 2 days... I had my package at the door. With another email asking if I was impressed? The team at bulkammo had been watching my package to make sure it arrived safe and secure, and the instant it was delivered, they asked how they did... All I can say is AWESOME!!! So awesome in fact, all of my ammo purchases will go through bulkammo from now on out. I was impressed not only with the product, but how well they run the site and take care of their customers. If they don't have it, it says they don't. If they do, don't worry... They actually do have it. Plus the site is a breeze to go through. Thanks BulkAmmo. I hope your business stands the test of time, because we all benefit from your hard efforts!!!! (Posted on 7/5/2016)

I have been shooing for awhile now and I just took the plunge into an AR platform. I wanted to find a bulk buy and for the price, these bullets perform very well for what I use them for (target and furbearers). They leave a nice small hole in my pelts and deliver more than enough power to take my targets down at range. On the flipside, they are a good overall bullet for a day at the range.
I have been saving my brass so I can reload em and put another 1k down the barrel.
Thanks Bulk Ammo!
P.s. Lightning fast shipment and well packaged! (Posted on 12/22/2015)

Magpul and D&H magazines used. ALG/ACT trigger with a full power spring. Carbine spring and H-Buffer, BCM/BCG. I love not having to tinker with my rifle during a class. TulAmmo, Silver Bear and Brown Bear are also GTG! (Posted on 2/13/2014)

I posted awhile back about having problems with misfires. My apologies to Bulk Ammo and to Federal. I recently took My Remington r-15 into a gunsmith and had my Hammer Spring replaced. Since, it fires fine and no ammo problem. I would recommend this Federal Ammo to anyone looking for value and quality.

I bought 2 boxes of this last year. My very first AR 15 had lots of misfires and jams with this. After I bought my Sig 516, there were absolutely no misfires. It was the gun and not the ammo. Then recently bought a immaculate, Colt SP1 and a Colt A2 Target. Absolutely no misfires. And the new Armalite SPR had no misfires also. All together about 1200 rounds fired with no misfires. The first AR got the boot as I traded it for the Colt SP1. Accuracy is very good also especially with the 20" barreled rifles. I would buy this anytime!!! (Posted on 9/11/2013)

My Colt HBAR II Target Competition (1:9) loves this ammo. At the 50 yd line, I was shooting a 1" group with iron sights. Half inch groups with a 2x Aimpoint. The trend says that a shooter with better eyes would do even better. To put that in perspective, I tried 62 gr Federals and shot a 4" group with the Aimpoint so I'm pretty happy with this stuff.
Thanks Bulk Ammo! (Posted on 5/27/2013)

This is the second time I have bought this ammo in bulk but the first time from Bulkammo.com These guys had a better deal then the other company I got the first one from and they shipped it to me really fast. This is about the best price per round your going to find until the prices come back down, if they ever do come down. Good looking ammo and no problems with them so far. (Posted on 2/16/2013)

I have ordered several lots of ammo including these, shot well in bout my Mini 14's and my AR.
Every box of ammo I have ordered was shipped quickly, fairly priced (In todays market) and shot well. What else could you possible ask for.
The added facter of knowing what is in stock and not in stock is out standing, no drilling down only to find it was not in stock....
Great Job Guys, you're doing great.

This is basic .223 ammo that shoots well, won't foul your rifle, and is reliable. There may be a better price somewhere, but I couldn't find it. What you get is a plastic bag of loose .223 inside a sturdy cardboard box. Mine also came in an "over-box", which I didn't think necessary, but there it was. Maybe stupid Illinois ammo shipping laws?

Q: How long will it take to get .223 shells?
Posted On: 11/6/2020 By: Justin
A: Hi Justin! I'm afraid I can't promise you an exact date, but we are still frequently adding 223 to our site. I hope you'll check back in again soon to have a look at what we have in store!
Q: What is the shipping weight on this particular item?
Posted On: 5/5/2019 By: RedRider
A: Hi! The shipping weight for the bulk .223 American Eagle is 26.7 lbs. Light on the wallet and light on your back!
Q: Where is this ammo manufactured?
Posted On: 1/7/2018 By: Salty Dog
A: Good Morning,
Federal ammunition is all made in their US based manufacturing plants.
Q: Mail-in rebate or online ?
Posted On: 11/8/2017 By: Is the rebate mail-in / or online
A: Federal offers both a mail-in printable form, as well as a digital form that you can fill out. You can find these forms on Federal's website.
Q: Is the SKY# AE223BK for this case? Does it qualify for the current Federal rebate program?
Posted On: 9/27/2017 By: Jon
A: The barcode for the rebate is located on the bottom of the box. Yes, Federal has extended the deadlines and many of their rebate programs. Please be sure to visit Federal's promotions page for all the details on which rounds qualify for these rebates.
Q: The description on the box states 55 GR Metal Case, the wording states FHJ (Full Metal Jacket). My question is the casing brass. Thanks
Posted On: 4/7/2017 By: Stephen Lopez
A: Hello Stephen,
This ammunition is loaded in brass casings with a standard 55 grain FMJ projectile.
Q: Is the brass new or is it used and reloaded
Posted On: 12/22/2015 By: Woody
A: Hello Woody,
This ammunition is all new manufactured.
Q: What is the velocity (fps) of this round?
Posted On: 9/1/2015 By: jay
A: Hello Jay,
Federal lists the velocity of their 55 grain .223 ammunition at 3240 fps from the muzzle.
Q: Is this steel core or lead
Posted On: 6/19/2014 By: Joe
A: Hello Joe,
These 55gr. FMJ rounds by Federal in .223 have a lead core, copper jacket, and a brass case. They are safe to shoot on ranges that do not allow magnetic rounds.
Q: is this ammo re-loadable?
Posted On: 6/8/2014 By: steve
A: Hello Steve,
Yes, these 55gr. FMJ rounds by Federal in .223 are reloadable. They have brass cases which work great for reloading.
Q: Are theses just the caseings?
Posted On: 2/5/2013 By: Tina
A: This American Eagle .223 Remington product is loaded ammunition. No "handloading" or "reloading" procedures are required. This .223 ammunition will fire in both .223 and 5.56 NATO rifles. All components from American Eagle ammunition are non corrosive. The spent casings may be saved for the reloading process if desired.
Q: Does this ammo use corrosive powder?
Posted On: 11/8/2012 By: Tim
A: American Eagle loads this, and their other products with non corrosive powder and primers. Their brass is boxer primed and great for reloading. The bullets used for this .223 Rem ammo feature a boat tail design for improved accuracy.
Q: What does boat tail mean ? How does it differ from FMJ ?
Posted On: 10/10/2012 By: Kevin
A: The "boat tail" is the design at the base of the bullet; this is the portion of the bullet we do not see when it is seated into the brass. The boat tail feature is a property of a full metal jacket bullet. The purpose behind this design is used to improve bullet flight and keep it on track to its intended target. This American Eagle ammo from Federal is considered to be full metal jacket.
Q: Is this ammo made in the USA?
Posted On: 9/1/2012 By: Kristi
A: Yes, it is. This product (as well as the rest of the American Eagle line of product) is made in Anoka, Minnesota. Our team has visited this plant on a few occasions and can attest to the quality of the process and the results (we've also shot a lot of it).
