Overview of 223 Ammo

223 is often used for target shooting, home defense, and, in some, primarily varmint and deer hunting applications.

    Those rounds go off every time tearing through things

  • Chris said:

    I ran over 200 rounds thru my new Ar-15 over the weekend and I had zero issues with the ammo plus the shipping was on point didn’t think it would get me that fast I’m very impressed and I’m very hard too impress so I’m happy for what I got! Tho thumbs up from me!

  • Rico said:

    This is a quality bullet

  • Mad Dawg said:

    Service and shipping is top-rate with these folks.

  • 223/556 said:

    Price was low, came in good packaging, ammo performed as it should cycling and firing, and the order arrived on time I am very impressed with this product

  • Becca said:

    Ok

  • Sike 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

  • donald said:

    good ammo good price fast shipping will buy more and tell my friends..i do recommend

  • 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!

  • myob said:

    good ammo

  • Rick said:

    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.

  • 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:

    Overall no jams after firing 120 rounds, good ammo at a fantasic price . perfect for the range good quality ammo, federal delivers!

  • patrick said:

    Excellent price for the ammo, everything arrived quickly and packaged well. Ammo performed great at the range, making it yet another great day at the range!

    First time customer (of website and vendor), was really happy with their value, the way they shot and the quick arrival!
