Overview 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.

    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:

  • NW said:

    Great experience. Hard to find ammo at good prices. Customer service was excellent with an issue we had to resolve with my order. Top shelf all the way around.
