The Federal American Eagle 223 Remington 55-Grain FMJ 200-round box is high-volume centerfire rifle target ammunition engineered explicitly for AR-15 carbines, modern sporting rifles, and bolt-action precision setups. A primary operational challenge during high-cadence range sessions and tactical training drills is obtaining economical ammunition that maintains uniform point-of-impact, predictable cycling, and low barrel fouling. Federal answers this demand by pairing a high-velocity 55-grain projectile with clean-burning propellants, delivering a fast 3,240 FPS muzzle velocity and a .269 ballistic coefficient for flat trajectories and tight downrange grouping.
The primary technical advantage centers on the Full Metal Jacket Boat-Tail (FMJ-BT) projectile architecture. Featuring a tapered boat-tail base, the bullet design reduces aerodynamic drag and turbulent wake as it exits the muzzle. This increased flight stability helps maintain a flat trajectory, mitigates wind drift past 100 yards, and protects the lead core against setback deformation during high-speed feeding in semi-automatic magazine wells.
Engineered for marksmen seeking realistic muscle-memory development, this 223 Rem load mirrors the recoil impulse and trajectory profile of premium defense rounds at a high-volume value point. Assembled in factory-fresh, reloadable brass cases with strict dimensional neck tolerances, each cartridge utilizes clean-burning powders and responsive, non-corrosive Boxer primers to minimize carbon buildup, preserve barrel life, and deliver reliable feeding and extraction across all major rifle platforms.
