.223 Remington 50 Grain Barnes Varmin-a-tor- The .223 Remington is a sporting cartridge with the same external dimensions as the 5.56x45mm NATO military cartridge. It is loaded with a .224-inch diameter jacketed bullet, with weights ranging from roughly 40 to 90 grains (the 55-grain being the most popular). Pressure is the primary difference separating the .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm. The .223s are loaded to lower pressures and velocities compared to 5.56mm. Due to its lower pressure, you can safely fire .223 Rem. ammunition in a 5.56mm chambered gun; however, the same cannot be said in reverse.
The . 223 (and the AR-15 rifles that fire them) are not ‘weapons of war’. Both the cartridge and the rifle are very popular for hunting and home defense use. .223 is a common caliber for bolt action and single-shot rifles in addition to semi-autos. Barrel length helps determine a specific cartridge’s muzzle velocity. A longer barrel typically yields a greater muzzle velocity, while a short barrel yields a lower one. The first AR-15 rifles used a barrel length of 20″. In the case of the .223 Remington (M193), ammunition loses or gains about 25.7 ft/sec for each inch of barrel length, while 5.56Ă45 mm NATO (M855) loses or gains 30.3 ft/sec per inch of barrel length.
Choice Ammunition has taken our 100% hand-loading techniques and produce an extremely accurate, highly dependable round for the .223 Remington in this load. Our loading tolerances are only matched by passionate hand-loaders in their own loading rooms. Consistent seating depths, powder charges and proprietary formulas of Choice Ammunition, make this 50 grain Varmin-a-tor round the best you can buy on the commercial market today.

.223 Remington 50 Grain Speer TNT Hollow Point with LAPUA BRASS!~ The development of the cartridge which eventually became the .223 Remington was intrinsically linked to the development of a new lightweight combat rifle. The cartridge and rifle were developed by Fairchild Industries, Remington Arms and several engineers working toward a goal developed by U.S. Continental Army Command (CONARC). Early development work began in 1957. A project to create a small caliber high velocity (SCHV) firearm was created. Eugene Stoner of ArmaLite was invited to scale down the AR-10 (7.62 mm) design. Winchester was also invited to participate. The parameters requested by CONARC were:
- .22 caliber
- Bullet exceeding supersonic speed at 500 yardsÂ
- Rifle weight 6 lbs
- Magazine capacity of 20 rounds
- Select fire for both semi-automatic and fully automatic use
- Penetration of US steel helmet one side, at 500 yards
- Penetration of .135âł steel plate at 500 yards
- Accuracy and ballistics equal to M2 ball ammunition (.30-06Â M1 Garand)
- Wounding ability equal to the M1 Carbine
Our 100% Hand-Loaded 50 grain TNT rounds are loaded with extremely tight tolerances, producing highly accurate, consistent and reliable performance with each and every shot! Our proprietary load formulas and loading process create the finest round of ammunition available on the commercial market today we feel. If you donât load your own ammunition- let us do it for you!
The Bullet:
Speer created its first bullet more than 70 years ago, and today, the company still manufactures superior components, such as Speer TNT Varmint Bullets. Specific to varmint shooting, these bullets are a cut above the rest.
TNT gives you what you want most-superior on-game performance. Starting with TNT’s thin precision jacket, Speer added internal fluting and a dead-soft lead core to ensure complete bullet disruption. Speer finishes the forming with a long ogive and a small hollow point. This gives you the ballistic coefficients needed for long shots. In fact, TNT’s coefficients rival those of similar boat tail bullets. In a little over ten years, TNT has become a best seller. Why? Great accuracy and impressive terminal performance. These TNT Bullets are explosive and accurate. TNT gives you what you want mostâsuperior on-game performance. A thin precision jacket and internal fluting ensures complete bullet disruption. Because of its great accuracy and impressive terminal performance, TNT has become one of Speer Bullets’ hottest sellers.

.223 REMINGTON 55 grain Hornady V-Max Bullets feature a polymer tip which enhances accuracy and promotes devastating expansion. The tip raises the ballistic coefficient for faster velocity and helps to stabilize the bullet in flight. It also acts as a wedge, initiating bullet expansion.
The Bullet:
The V-Max-The ideal combination of accuracy, expansion, and fragmentation.
With its combination of proven materials, innovative design and streamlined profile, the Hornady V-MAX represent the pinnacle of what a specialized varmint bullet can achieve, offering straight-line trajectories, enhanced accuracy, dramatic expansion and explosive fragmentation at a wide range of distances and velocities.
The industry’s leading varmint bullet with polymer tip and streamlined design results in flat trajectories. The concentricity of the match grade AMPŸ bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges as well as explosive expansion, even at velocities as low as 1600 fps.
POLYMER TIP
The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-MaxŸ is a hollow cavity resting between the tip’s shaft and the body of the bullet. Upon impact, the hard shaft builds up speed and energy before driving into the core, causing the entire package to rapidly expand to the point of violent fragmentation, even at low terminal velocities.
HIGHER BALLISTIC COEFFICIENT
Hornady combines the sharp, pointed polymer tip with the most aerodynamic profile for a high ballistic coefficient. The V-MAXŸ profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability.
SWAGED LEAD CORE
The swaging process allows the precise formation of the core up and around the tip, with a cavity under the tip’s stem. This allows the tip to build up energy before smashing into the core, causing dramatic fragmentation of the core and jacket.
PRECISE BOATTAIL & FLAT BASE DESIGNS
Utilizing the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.

223 Remington FAQ
Yes, you can use a .223 Remington cartridge for hunting deer. However, it’s important to consider a few factors before choosing the .223 Remington for deer hunting.
The .223 Remington is a smaller and lighter cartridge compared to other popular deer hunting cartridges such as the .30-06 Springfield or .308 Winchester. As a result, it may have limitations when it comes to effectively taking down deer, particularly at longer distances or in situations where a clean and ethical shot placement is crucial.
The amount of bullet drop for a .223 Remington cartridge at 300 yards can vary depending on several factors, including the specific load, bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and environmental conditions. Assuming a typical .223 Remington load with a 55-grain bullet and a muzzle velocity of around 3,100 feet per second (fps), the bullet drop at 300 yards will generally be around 10-12 inches.
The term “223” typically refers to .223 Remington, which is a popular rifle cartridge primarily used in civilian sporting rifles. It was developed by Remington Arms and is widely used for hunting, target shooting, and other recreational shooting activities.
On the other hand, “5.56” refers to 5.56x45mm NATO, which is a military cartridge developed for use in military rifles. The 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge has similar dimensions to the .223 Remington but operates at higher pressures. It is the standard ammunition used by the military in rifles such as the M16 and the M4.
The .223 Remington cartridge can be used forÂ
- Varmint Hunting
- Target ShootingÂ
- Home Defense
- Tactical and Law Enforcement use
While the .223 Remington has its strengths, it’s worth noting that it may not be ideal for larger game hunting due to its smaller bullet size and lower energy compared to cartridges designed specifically for big game.
