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.

JC said:
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

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.

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.
Earl the Pearl said:
Never had a problem, fed and fired always.
Darryl said:
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.

Shaggybird said:
Good, cheap plinking ammo for your AR15 range toy… you will feel very dirty after burning thru this big ol box, almost as dirty as it will make your weapon so be prepared to clean and lube your pew pew afterwards! Practice safe shooting while at the range: no pulling out of your lane, try your best to keep your rounds center mass and fight the temptation to try head shots or facials on those silhouette targets!
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!

Consistent sub MOA groups with a Fulton Armory AR-15 A2, SS match barrel 1:9 twist. Compared to similar match loads by Black Hills, Remington and Hornady; factor of 2 improvement on accuracy with this Federal ammo. Ammo.com get more of this into stock!
USMC1 said:
I have tried a number of rounds from flat base hollow point to ballistic tip's but I was not satisfied with the results. So, I tried the 69 grain BTHP match, I was very pleased with the results, much more consistent, however purchasing massed produced ammo for accuracy is not the way to go. If you shoot a lot, reloading your own ammo is the best way to ensure that every round is the same. I feel the value of the ammo is about average in cost. What I paid for the 40 rounds from ammo net including shipping I could buy the same at a local store, so not really a savings.

Bullet strength and bullet placement are key factors,. I wouldn’t recommend all 223 for big buck deer,. Only a few will do the trick ,. It takes a powerful vital hit to bring a buck down,. The penetration and shock wave is what’s needed to take the game down ,. Choose your caliber wisely ,.

Bullet Points: .223 Ammo

Released to the civilian market in 1964 for hunting varmints and predators, it only took the United States Air Force one month to start using the .223 Remington cartridge in their new M-16 rifles.
Its mild recoil is what has made .223 ammo for sale so popular among hunters of small vermin to medium-size predators up to 300 yards. However, many areas do not allow the .223 to be used for deer hunting due to inhumane harvesting.
Popular in competitive shooting, the .223 Remington can be fired in Service Rifle and F-Class matches – which involves shooting at ranges as great as 1,000 yards.
Many law enforcement agencies use the .223 Remington in place of the 12 gauge shotgun when longer shots or more precision is needed, as well as urban sniping operations.
