Overview of Bulk 223 Ammo

In 1962, 223 ammo was officially recommended by SAAMI, leading to its adoption by the U.S. Army in 1964 as the 5.56x45mm NATO, used in M-16 rifles during the Vietnam War. That same year, Remington Arms released the first civilian 223 Rem sporting rifle. The 223 quickly surpassed the popularity of the 222 Remington, and today, the AR-15 is the quintessential American rifle, with many manufacturers producing variations chambered in 223 for both bolt-action and AR-style semi-automatics.
