Details

Do you have a huge stack of targets and nothing to shoot them with? Would you like to give local varmints an up close and personal demonstration of mankindā€™s mastery over nature? Then you are in luck! Weā€™ve got a case of Winchester Super-X 223 Rem ammunition with your name written all over it.

This cartridgeā€™s bullet weighs normal at 55 grains, and its muzzle velocity is precisely what you would have expected from the militaryā€™s standard M193 load. The boat tail hollow point begins its life as an empty copper jacket, which is subsequently filled with lead to ensure that its core is rotationally stable. The bulletā€™s boat tail is simply there to reduce drag, which has the welcome effects of accelerating downrange velocity and lessening the amount of interference wind drift can create.

This is brand new ammo: noncorrosive, Boxer-primed and reloadable. The brass cases are indeed a bit discolored, but thatā€™s only because they werenā€™t shined up after they were heat-treated at the factory. That means nothing in terms of reliability or reloadability!

A: Thanks for reaching out Carl! This ammo can instantly neutralize a threat with proper shot placement. That said, the BTHP bullet is not capable of terminal expansion. You want terminal expansion because it (A) maximizes damage to the threat, and (B) minimizes (but doesn't eliminate) the risk of over-penetration that could harm innocent bystanders. If you specifically want 223 Rem, then I highly recommend the Federal Premium Law Enforcement options on this page (not the blue box): https://www.bulkammo.com/rifle/bulk-.223-ammo?jacket_type=77&manufacturer=1
