223 REM HORNADY AMERICAN GUNNER 55 GRAIN HP (500 ROUNDS)

Forget everything you know about 223 Rem ammunition. Actually, don’t do that, or else you’ll have no idea what we’re talking about. More specifically, forget everything you know about unreliable and inaccurate 223 Rem ammunition – because Hornady American Gunner ain’t either!

This cartridge is equipped to impress any marksman thanks to its 55 grain hollow point projectile. The bullet’s concentric jacket and injection molded lead core – which is perfectly contoured to the jacket’s interior walls – both ensure that it exhibits the stellar in-flight rotational stability which precision hinges upon.

This bullet’s relatively lighter weight, thinner jacket, and inability to produce significant expansion all make its terminal performance inadequate for hunting medium game. Its 0.254 G1 ballistic coefficient (24” test barrel) does mean it cruises along quite a flat trajectory, however, and its ~750 ft lbs striking energy at 200 yards would pose a serious problem for any varmint that gets caught in your crosshairs.

Hornady exclusively loads American Gunner label ammo with their highest-quality primers and cases. Reloadable brass! Good to save up even if you don’t handload, because you know if you’ll need them. Free shipping, too – but only when you order from your pal the Ammo Man!
