Hornady 223 REM 55 GR SP (250 - Loose)

A solid 250-round bulk pack of Hornady 223 REM 55 GR SP Centrefire Ammo is a practical choice for licensed hunters, pest controllers, and range shooters who demand consistent performance without compromising on quality. Hornady's Custom line is factory-loaded to premium standards, with every round hand-inspected before packaging to ensure the kind of quality control you'd expect from a boutique reloader, not a mass-market manufacturer. The 55 grain soft point projectile strikes a genuine balance between controlled expansion and adequate penetration, making it well-suited to varmint work and mid-sized feral animals including foxes, rabbits, and feral pigs. Loaded with temperature-stable powder featuring a flash suppressant, and seated over a small rifle Boxer primer in a reloadable brass case, this is ammunition that earns its keep whether you're running it through a bolt-action or a semi-auto platform.

Hornady 223 REM 55 GR SP Centrefire Ammo - 250 Round Can Key Features

• Calibre and Load: .223 REM, 55 grain soft point projectile. A versatile combination for varminting and pest control on small to mid-sized game.
• Muzzle Velocity: 3,240 feet per second (987 m/s). Delivers a flat trajectory well-suited to field shooting at practical hunting distances.
• Muzzle Energy: 1,282 foot-pounds (1,738 joules). Enough energy on target for effective terminal performance on varmints and feral animals.
• Bullet Style: Soft point with secant ogive design. The SP construction promotes reliable, controlled expansion on impact, while the secant ogive geometry reduces drag and improves ballistic efficiency for flatter shooting.
• Ballistic Coefficient (G1): 0.235. A workable BC for the .223 calibre at this projectile weight, helping retain velocity and resist wind drift at field ranges.
• Sectional Density: 0.157. Reflects the projectile's mass-to-diameter ratio, contributing to adequate penetration on small to medium-sized pests and game.
• Cannelured and Crimped Projectile: The bullet is mechanically crimped to the case via a cannelure groove, preventing bullet setback during feeding. This makes it reliable in semi-automatic rifles with magazine feeding.
• Case Type: Reloadable brass, Boxer-primed with a small rifle primer. Spent cases can be processed and reloaded for handloaders looking to get additional value from quality brass.
• Temperature-Stable Powder with Flash Suppressant: Consistent velocities across varied ambient temperatures, with reduced muzzle flash signature.
• Recommended Twist Rate: Best terminal performance achieved in barrels with a 1:7" (1:17.8cm) to 1:12" (1:30.5cm) twist rate. Compatible with most standard .223 REM barrels.
• Bulk Pack Quantity: 250 rounds per can. Practical for extended pest control operations or range sessions without the cost of individually boxed ammunition.
• Quality Control: Every round is hand-inspected before packaging as part of Hornady's Custom-grade manufacturing process.

For hunters and pest controllers running .223 REM rifles across a range of scenarios, this 250-round can of Hornady Custom soft point ammunition offers genuine factory-grade quality at a practical bulk quantity. Consistent velocities, reliable feeding, and reloadable brass make it a sound investment for anyone who shoots regularly.
