223 REM FEDERAL LE TACTICAL TRU 64 GRAIN HI-SHOK SP (20 ROUNDS)

This 223 Rem cartridge from Federal’s LE Tactical TRU line of ammunition is specialized for law enforcement professionals’ modern rifles. Its reloadable brass casing possesses extra thick walls to strengthen it, and its propellant is loaded to best cycle a semi-automatic such as the AR-15, Ruger Mini-14, or HK G36. This round’s propellant not only burns clean, but does so without generating enough muzzle flash to rob the shooter of their night vision after firing their first shot in the dark.

It is this cutting edge round’s projectile that truly suits it for self-defense. At 64 grains it’s heavy enough to deliver deeper penetration without necessitating a faster barrel twist to stabilize it. With its narrow soft point meplat it’s able to begin expanding just after the moment of initial impact, exerting catastrophic energy while lessening its chance of penetrating right through the target. This bullet’s cannelure binds its jacket and core together to provide optimal weight retention, even if it must first pass through one of a variety of common urban barriers en route to its target.
