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.

  • Whistle-Pig said:

    I hand load 55g blitzing for my AR and these performed exactly like my hand loads no adjustment in windage or elevation was needed. Although I didn't have time to run them through the chronograph with the performance at 100 yards I'd say the advertised velocity is spot on with a 24 inch barrel.

  • Dave said:

    Compared to brass prices you cant beat it! Shot about 500 rounds between two weekends had no issues every round shot flawlessly I will be returning for more

  • Tim said:

  • Tristan Tate said:

  • jarhead, gimpy said:

    very good deals and so far good ammo

  • Slap said:

    Arrived in 3 days, shoots just fine, the CAR-15 never missed a beat! Given the current supply issues even the price was better than most I've seen. Great job! Thank you I will be a repeat customer.

  • William said:

    I have had a chance to use a few of the rounds, and am happy with the performance. No jams, and true flight.

  • Rob said:

    It was a good ammo. Fired and help itself well on the 100, 200, and 300 ranges.

  • John said:

    Cost of steel cased ammo - cons of steel cased ammo - but well made AFAICT

  • JayG said:

    I've been using Tula in my XDM .45 for plinking and have had no issues so I thought I'd give these a try, but the Tula .223 Rem 55gr malfunctions VERY often in my modern sporting rifle. Every 2-4 rounds caused a failure to eject/cycle, or double feed. I've had NO issues with brass in the same rifle. Not worth the pennies saved, I won't be buying Tula .223 again or even finishing the rounds I bought.
