I havent seen this ammo at this price point especially in 62gr which is all I shoot. My Son got a lot of this particular ammo and I ran close to 300 rounds through my FN AR and it groups as well as any overpriced "real" American ammo and shoots no dirtier IMHO. Colt is also branding some awesome .45acp handgun ammo that I have a lot of experience with and again at bargain prices. This is GREAT ammo even for the anemic .223 AR rifles which again IMHO should be delegated to "fun shooting" and taken away from our troops who should be supplied with a rifle that shoots a true terminal round.

This Ammo is as good as it gets for range ammo. Runs as clean as any of the other brands. (Posted on 1/20/16)

I used this ammo on my AR15 and it performed perfectly. I shot 100 shots without any issues.
You do want to keep in mind that these are steel casings which are not allowed in many ranges. Otherwise, this is an excellent choice. (Posted on 1/17/16)

I went through 280 rounds this weekend without one miss-feed or jam. These do leave a bit of extra residue, but nothing terrible. (Posted on 9/13/15)

I wanted to get 1000 rounds of ammo on the cheap to play with in my AR-15s, one of which I built. Both guns worked great with this ammo and the accuracy is good. (Posted on 6/7/15)

I have three AR15's and a Mini 14 in 223. I will not shoot regular steel shells in my AR's, only brass or zinc coated steel. I have used Colt 223 often and find it to be reliable and accurate and of course very inexpensive. Before I buy any new ammo I do research and read the reviews and Colt got great reviews and lived up to them. I would recommend this product highly. (Posted on 5/31/15)

This ammo is a great bargain for plinking. Never had a problem with it. My Colt 6920 cycles it without issue. Great price for range ammo. (Posted on 5/25/15)

Used for zeroing my DPMS AR 15 and could hit target easy from 200 yards. While shooting 200 rounds without cleaning, had 3 cartridges did not fire, but when retried all 3 fired no problem. When cleaning the gun the whole bolt carrier group was so dirty especially the firing pin. Very nice practice ammo for the price. (Posted on 5/14/15)

I bought this ammo for tactical training for my job as an overseas security contractor. After 4 days of training in cold weather, hot weather and moving in and out of swamps the ammo performed GREAT. I had 2 malfunctions from the 6000 rnds I fired during the course and it was caused by failure to fire on 2 PMC rnds that accidentally found their way into my ammo can. I highly recommend this ammo for all training needs. (Posted on 2/20/14)

I've been buying this ammo for about 5 years now and I use it in my converted saiga .223. It's always performed flawlessly. I've fired around 2000 Rounds of this stuff through my saiga and haven'thad a single FTE or FTF. Great ammo for the price. (Posted on 10/25/13)

Q: Does the projectile contain steel?
Posted On: 9/1/15 By: Simon
A: Hello Simon!
The Colt .223 ammunition is loaded with a bi-metal jacketed bullet. This means the jacket of the bullet contains a combination of both copper and steel.
Q: What is the fps of this ammo?
Posted On: 4/8/15 By: scott washek
A: Hello Scott,
Silver Bear lists the muzzle velocity at 3,025 fps for this 62 grain .223 round.
Q: is this steel cased ammo or brass?
Posted On: 2/21/14 By: Jacob
A: Hey Jacob, these are steel-cased rounds. Colt has signed a licensing agreement with Silver Bear. This is essentially Silver Bear ammo with the Colt name stamped on the box so the cases are zinc-plated steel.
Q: Is this corrosive ammo?
Posted On: 12/10/13 By: Donovan H
A: Hello Donovan,
These 62gr. FMJ rounds in .223 are non-corrosive, so you don't have to worry about corrosion in your firearm with these.
