223 REM RED ARMY STANDARD 55 GRAIN FMJ (20 ROUNDS)

223 REM RED ARMY STANDARD 55 GRAIN FMJ (20 ROUNDS)

An American cartridge made in Russia? That’s this 223 Rem in a nutshell! This round from Century Arms’ Red Army Standard label is made by Tula features a steel shell casing instead of the more conventional brass variety. Because it contains no valuable copper it’s going to drive your shooting expenses down dramatically. The casing additionally wears a coating of low-friction polymer that not only optimizes functionality in a semi-automatic rifle, but further protects against rust and corrosion during storage.

This round is outfitted with a 55 grain full metal projectile. That’s the one you want for the rifle range, as its economical design assists problem-free feeding from a magazine while subsequently preventing lead residue from rapidly impacting your riflings’ efficacy.

This round’s Berdan primer is sensitive and non-corrosive, so you can expect it to ignite reliably for years on out. A steel casing and Berdan primer are kind of the one-two punch combo of non-reloadability, however, so you’d might as well leave your casings wherever they lie.
