223 Ammo For Sale
History of 223 Ammo
Developed in the 1960s, the .223 cartridge offers shooters high muzzle velocity and minimal recoil at an affordable price. It's a favorite for new and experienced shooters because it's accurate, inexpensive, and has low recoil.
223 is often used for target shooting, home defense, and, in some, primarily varmint and deer hunting applications.

Federal manufactured XM193BL is pretty much a GOLD STANDARD round and it’s quality is well known. But my review is related to AMMO.COM and I just cannot say thank you enough! Virtually unbeatable price coupled with a commitment to helping veterans and gun advocates... and I got my order in less than 72 hours. Great Job! AMMO.COM is. Ow my first stop for all Caliber needs.

I have a Colt which is can be picky on ammo. I have never had a jam with this Federal 223 ammo. ammon.net was fast and great to work with. my only complaint is the current prices everywhere right now.
-
Hooter said:
Ammo is great shooting, clean, no problems. Shipping on time and great service. The recent worldwide increase in ammo prices are ridiculous. Not a lot you can do about it, though

Sandy said:
The ammo arrived on my birthday and it was the highlight of my day. My order was filled and sent to me so fast I was pleasantly surprised. The cartridges are of the highest quality, not musty surplus like some folks are selling. Very happy, thank you.

Retired Sarge said:
My first time using the rifle I used this ammo. On a 10 inch dirty bird target I was able to land consistent groupings .I was able to land 59 out of 60 rounds in the 9 ring or better. The order was shipped and I received it on the third day. Service is excellent.

stan said:

For relatively cheap ammo Works fairly well only had 1 misfire out of about 200 just had a little too much lacquer on it

Dr. O. said:
This ammo was a great value. And performed well. Not a single jam. Very consistent

TedG said:
Fired about 100 rounds. No misfeeds, no duds, no significant accuracy loss over green-tips at 100yrds. I did notice that the spent casings actually eject a little differently (more to the rear and in a tighter grouping). This is actually nice for me because, when I fire federals, about 1/2 of the brass flies out the window of my shooting hut while the Wolf "brass" piles up in a neat little spot next to me on the inside of the hut. The price is right - highly recommended for plinking!

Price was right, delivery was quick, Fed and ejected with no problems.

Jimbillyjoebob said:
You have to keep your AR clean no matter what ammo you feed it. I would not use this ammo for hunting if I had better available, but if you're going to be humming through 300+ rounds on an afternoon, it's hard to beat. Very rare misfeeds.

Tarpon said:
As expected

NuSparkey said:
Nothing like using good ammo to make you feel good about yourself. Pushed it out to 300 meters and anything off target was probably my jittery finger. Cycled well under rapid fire. I like it!

No FTF or FTE's in my Ruger Mini-14

AR 15 Novice said:
I just bought a Windham AR 15 .223. Never shot an AR before this one. The Federal .223`s I bought from Ammo.com cycled and fired flawlessly. I will buy these rounds again.

Wasn't expecting the shipment so fast, fired from my rifles without problem dead on target.

Medic505 said:
Shot well from a Bushmaster m-4 and even better from a Savage Mod.10 heavy barrel. Pounding a spray paint can with every shot at 300 yards. Best price I've found for factory loaded rounds. Service was great. Arrived 3 days after order.
-
Willy said:
I have a Colt AR15, SP-1, which was the closest thing I could find to the M-16 I had in Vietnam. I also have a Ruger Mini-14 with a Bushnell red-dot. Both held their groups at 100 yards with this ammo. I shoot 5 shot 3" groups with both guns at that range on a bench without any support but my forearm. I shoot the SP-1 on a sandbag at 200 yards with the same group. The Ruger fall off badly at that range; gun's fault. Your ammo is fine. I can do better on the price but your service is good.
-
Paul T. said:
Great ordering process and phone check for delivery, ammunition worked well. I had no jams or mis-feeds during range Clean shots on target at 100 yards with my AR. Cleaning was easy with minimum carbon buildup.
-
Willy said:
As long as you keep your gun clean, this ammo is the best as far as value goes. Hit targets with no issue at 300 yds out of my AR. Will definitely order again!
-
Jay said:
Great ammo! No issues CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS AMMO! I worn you to clean your rifle ever two or three hundred round. Other than that it is great!!!
-
Dee said:
This Ammo is great for the way I use it..I shot mostly on the range to 100yd. It shots clean and I never had a misfire and I used many 1000s of rounds using this Ammo. Also the price is very affordable if you shot a lot like I do. Happy shooting hope for BULLSEYE. Dee

William said:
I bought 1k rounds of steel cased .223 and it arrived in less than 48 hours. I know you aren’t “supposed” to shoot steel cased out of an ar15, but after about 500 rounds I’ve experienced zero problems. It’s hard to beat 35 cents per round.

WOLFMAN JACK said:
Nothing wrong with this ammo, shots straight, and on target. !!!!!!

petarro said:
I'm new to this, I bought this Russian ammo and Winchester $$ ammo. The accuracy in the same grain was exactly the same. This one is brass so you can use the range and explodes almost as safe as all brass but it's at least safer than all steel. Price is great, boxes and ammo and quality is great too. Not sure what dirtier means but after dozens of each, the gun was in the same need to get cleaned.

Wolvian said:
Shoots fine but is a little dirty to shoot
-
Drk said:
Fired around 150 rounds. No jams or misfires. Found two dented casings when loading mags. and discarded them. All and all a good value for the range.
-
JackW said:
I bought this for some cheap range ammo and I had a jam on my first mag. Got through a couple more mags and hand another couple jams. I expected it, but not as frequently as it did. Not terrible if you just need practice ammo, though. Feels good.
-
Fred said:
Plinking or hunting I get accurate shots with no misfire
-
Al said:
Very nice ammo to target practice and cheap to shoot a lot of.
-
luckey one said:
They arrived promptly. They fired very well and for the price i will buy more. I am very satisfied
-
J. T. said:
This is steel cartridge cases, steel core bullets and they have been banned from all indoor ranges I have been to as the round fouls up the range backstop. The cases are also Berdan primed and cannot be used for reloading, same garbage as TulAmmo. If you want to recycle you'll have to shoot several tons to recycle the steel. NOT RE-LOADABLE. They shoot, had some failure to feeds, I will never buy Russian made garbage again.
-
Jay said:
I have an AR-15 and this ammo cycled right thru the action with no issues what so ever. It is true that the powder in the tuluammo burns a little more dirty but I can cycle hundreds of rounds through the gun and have no issues the just clean the rifle. For the price you cant beat this ammo.

Silverain1 said:

I'll keep re-buying PMC 223 until I have a reason not to. They're priced nice and always work in my different rifles.

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.

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.

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.

Rodge said:
The service was excellent. The performance of the Aguila .223 Rem FMJ ammo is superior to ammo that cost more. It is excellent quality brass and I've not had a single failure to date in over 1250 rounds fired over a three month period.
-
Zombiesrnuts said:
Ammo.com had the best price per round for the Aguila and also was pleasantly surprised on the ease and quickness of the order and delivery! I'll always shop here first!

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.

Ammo was cheap and works as designed

Bushwacker61 said:
I have bought lots of 1,000 of this ammo 2-3 times. The first lot(s) were good. However, I started getting tons of split case necks about every 10th round with my most recent lot. This was with a 10.5" AR pistol and good quality P-mags. I had my local gunsmith look at the gun, and he couldn't find any issues, so presumably the culprit was the ammo. Not sure if they had some QC issues this year? I haven't written off Fiocci, but I'll probably wait a while until any bad ammo cycles through the market.

Ezekiel said:
Ive been shooting fiocchi 223 amd 9mm for a couple years solely now, never have had a malfunction, bad primer, or defaced/damaged round. Shoots great, burns well, and such a good price for what you get.

Purchased 1000 and reloaded those after shooting. Ammo functioned beyond expectations and reloaded cases performed well too.

Gary said:
I have a bear creek arsenal upper in 223 wild with a 20inch SS slick side charge and man I'm telling you that this stuff shoots 5 shots into 1/2 inch groups all day long, I bought this ammo because it shoots as flat as a 22,250 55 grain bullets do, I've yet to shoot any yotees yet but when I do you guys will be the first to know, I can't wait!!!!!

I test fired this ammo at 100, 200, and 300 yards. I was so happy with it that I went to order more, and it was all gone. Loved this ammo for my rifle.

SH in TX said:
This ammo has proven to be the most accurate I've found out of a Remy 700 HB with a 1:12 twist. Had almost given up on accuracy with this rifle, but this load yielded 0.7 MOA (100 yds, calm day, off support).
