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.

How will your 223 ammo be delivered?

Your 223 ammo will be shipped directly to your doorstep in a discreet, unmarked package.

What are the advantages of buying bulk 223 ammo?

  1. Significant cost savings: One of the primary benefits of purchasing bulk 223 Rem ammo is the potential for substantial savings. You can save upwards of 10¢ per round!
  2. Always range-ready: Bulk buying ensures you’re well-stocked and ready for the range at any time, safeguarding against supply chain disruptions.
  3. Less frequent reordering: Buying in bulk reduces the need for frequent reordering, giving you peace of mind with a steady supply of ammo.
  4. Improved shooting consistency: Consistent ammo supply helps maintain accuracy and performance by eliminating variations between different batches..

How much does bulk 223 cost?

Bulk 223 generally costs around 50¢ per round, depending on the brand you purchase and the quantity you order. Regardless, purchasing ammo in bulk will save you more money than if you were to purchase in smaller batches each time the need arises. Shooting can become expensive, but you need to keep your marksmanship skills sharp to defend yourself, your home, family, or freedom. Buying ammo in bulk is the best way to reduce your cost per round and maintain a steady practice routine.

Customer Reviews

  • Matthew said:

    The Ammo is great, but the one hitch in my "Giddy-up" is: The ammo on the website reads "FMJ-BT", but what showed up at my door was regular FMJ. I'll still shoot it, but I'll be wary, before I order from here.

  • Glen D said:

    I was very please with that courtesy and knowledge the people that I have talked to.

  • Kim said:

    Good stuff

  • Joel said:

    This round was very consistent, very clean. I don't think you can do better for price in a brass cased round. Shooting in a Daniel Defense m4v11 they were flawless. Definitely ordering more.

  • Shooter magavin said:

    Have bought this ammo a couple of time and could not be happier

  • ammosmurff said:

    I've shot PMC ammo for years on the range, for .223, .45acp & 9mm, never had a misfire or failure to feed on any of my guns. Korean ammo is the only foreign ammo I'll buy!

  • J A said:

    I have not shot any of this ammo as of yet because it is down the line in my rotation. But I was comfortable purchasing PMC ammo as I've never had any bad ammo from the company. The price was right at the time so it was a good buy for me. I look forward to purchasing ammo from your site again, thank you...

  • Dave said:

    Very good ammo for the money! Reliable and accurate. Can't ask for anything more than that.

  • dkmatthews said:

    There's no doubting the quality of PMC Bronze. It's super reliable in every firearm. Thanks for a good deal on the case of ammo.

  • chris said:

    I have a remington Model 700sps varmint 223. with a bull barrel, n added a bipod, and a Barska 4-14 x 40 scope. i picked up a fiew boxes of the pmc bronze boat tail ammo in 55 grain simply because they wer only 7.25 for a box of 20. i was realy surprised on how consistant they wer. i placed 18 outa 20 rounds in a 3 inch circle at 150 yds. with a slight breeze. over all im realy pleased with this product, and will continue to use, an recommend this ammo.

    Very tough exterior bag similar to some issue ammo during deployments. I see no issues that concern me. It saved me from doing my own storage prep.
