When you can't use your own reloads, like for instance an NRA Certificate course, this stuff works just fine. And if you want to stockpile, this is a very handy well packed ammunition to lay up. Bought in bulk and got free shipping from TSUSA

Great buy. Searched numerous sites but found best value here. Received orderl timely and already fired 300+ Rounds (before COVID shut down my range). No failures to fire. Ammo was as accurate as other comparable rounds fired in same rifle.
Robert O.
What is the muzzle velocity of this Federal 223 Remington 55 grain Full Metal Jacket ammo?
The verified muzzle velocity is 3240 fps. The verified muzzle energy is 1282 ft lbs.
Is this a case of 1000 rounds 223 Federal American Eagle ammo?
Yes. This listing is packaged as a case of 1000, making it a practical choice for shooters who want Federal American Eagle 223 in a bulk range format.
Is AE223BKX intended for hunting?
Federal’s guidance points this ammunition toward range use and target practice. The Full Metal Jacket bullet is not designed to expand like a hunting bullet, so it is not the right choice for hunting based on the manufacturer’s description.
Are the cases reloadable?
Yes. Manufacturer-stated features include virgin brass cases suitable for reloading and non-corrosive Boxer primers for reloader-friendly use.
How can I tell whether brass is Lake City style brass?
The easiest indicator is the brass appearance. Polished, shiny brass is described as coming from the Federal Ammunition Plant and not Mil-Spec Lake City, while Lake City brass goes through an annealing process and can look tarnished.
I have a question about related site navigation or a Federal rebate submission. What should I do?
For site navigation questions, the team can review the issue and update you shortly. For rebate submissions, use the current Federal or Vista Outdoor promotions submission process rather than mailing to an outdated address.
