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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHornady 223 REM 55 GR SP Centrefire Ammo - 250 Round Can Key Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibre and Load:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e.223 REM, 55 grain soft point projectile.
