What this fracturing bullet is built to do

This is a engineered to break apart in a controlled way on impact, converting velocity into rapid energy transfer rather than pass-through.

Bullet weight and bullet construction get conflated constantly. Weight sets trajectory and momentum; construction sets what happens on impact.

.223 Remington background

Light-for-calibre bullets rely on velocity rather than mass, so barrel length matters more here than in most cartridges.

Muzzle velocity for .223 Remington typically runs 2,700 to 3,240 fps depending on bullet weight and barrel, from a AR-15 platform with a 1:7 to 1:9 twist. Published figures are a starting point, not a specification; chronograph your own rifle before you trust a number.

Where this weight sits

At 62 grain this is on the lighter side for .223 Remington. Lighter bullets leave the muzzle faster and shoot flatter, which helps on smaller targets and at distance, but they bleed velocity sooner and depend more on impact speed to do their job.

Pack size

150 rounds at $164.99 works out at $1.100 per round. Bulk packaging like this is how you keep a rifle you shoot regularly fed without the per round cost climbing.

Ordering and compliance

Ammunition ships within the United States subject to state and municipal restriction. Some jurisdictions require licensing or prohibit delivery outright, and buyers must meet age and eligibility requirements where they live. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Who this load suits

Match the load to the job rather than the price. This suits hunters and defensive shooters who want rapid energy transfer and multiple wound paths rather than a single clean channel.

Barrel length and velocity

The same load behaves differently across barrel lengths. If you run a short barrel, verify performance rather than assuming it carries over. For .223 Remington specifically, expect 2,700 to 3,240 fps depending on bullet weight and barrel as the published band and treat your own chronograph as the authority.

Storing ammunition

Ammunition stores for decades if you keep moisture and temperature swings away from it. Sealed containers with a desiccant pack beat an open box in a shed every time.

.223 Remington against the alternatives

Against 5.56 NATO it is the lower pressure sibling, and against 6mm ARC or 6.5 Grendel it gives up downrange energy in exchange for cheaper ammunition and far wider availability.

There is no universally correct answer here, only a correct answer for a given rifle, distance and target.

What we ship

This is genuine factory ammunition, held in a climate stable stockroom rather than a container. Orders are picked from sealed cases and packed so nothing shifts in transit.

Test one box before buying in quantity. Two rifles of the same model can prefer different loads, and there is no way to predict which from a spec sheet.

Frequently asked questions

What rifle does .223 Remington run in?

.223 Remington is normally chambered in a AR-15 platform with a 1:7 to 1:9 twist. Light-for-calibre bullets rely on velocity rather than mass, so barrel length matters more here than in most cartridges.

What velocity should I expect from .223 Remington?

Typically 2,700 to 3,240 fps depending on bullet weight and barrel. Barrel length, temperature and lot all shift it, so chronograph your own rifle.

Is the fracturing projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a engineered to break apart in a controlled way on impact, converting velocity into rapid energy transfer rather than pass-through. Match that against your intended use before buying.

Why choose 62 grain?

Weight sets the trade between velocity and momentum. 62 grain is one point on that curve; the right pick depends on your barrel, your distance and your target rather than on the number itself.

What is in the pack?

150 rounds at $164.99, which is $1.100 per round.

Is this load in stock?

Yes. Everything on this page is held in stock and ships from the United States. Sold out lines are updated rather than left live.

Do I need a licence to buy this?

In most of the country no, but some states and cities require a licence or an approved recipient for ammunition. The shipping page has the detail.

Can I reload this brass?

Most of our loaded ammunition uses reloadable boxer primed brass. Check the individual listing if you intend to reload, since some training and steel cased lines are not reloadable.

Do you sell components for this cartridge?

We stock projectiles and brass for several of our calibres alongside loaded ammunition. Check the projectiles and brass category for what is currently available.

How is this stored before it ships?

Indoors at stable temperature, rotated oldest first, and packed so cartridges do not move in transit.
