    .223 Winchester Super Short Mag (WSSM) 50 grain TNT Hollow Point- Extremely hard to find this round and impossible to find with the quality and consistency which we load!!

    The .223 WSSM was introduced in 2003 by the Browning Arms Company, Winchester Ammunition, and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Although the case design of the .223 WSSM is radically different from traditional cartridges, performance is much the same as other ultra velocity .224’s such as the .220 Swift, .22-250 and .22-243. Browning rejects the charge that the .223 WSSM round is especially hard on barrels: “The 223 and 243 WSSM cartridges are said to ‘burn up’ barrels in as little as 300 rounds. Nothing could be further from the truth..

    For those enthusiasts who have a need for velocity and stopping predators dead in their tracks, this caliber is an enticer for sure!  This caliber is a screamer with attitude!

    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. In addition to being made from quality materials and workmanship, these bullets fit any budget.

    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 most—superior on-game performance. A thin precision jacket and internal fluting ensures complete bullet disruption.

    With its combination of proven materials, innovative design and streamlined profile, the V-MAX represents 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 AMP bullet jacket provides maximum accuracy at all ranges as well as explosive expansion.

    Product Features

    POLYMER TIP

    The secret to the explosive terminal performance of the V-Max 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-MAX® profile also provides the maximum bearing surface for added in-flight stability.

    SWAGED LEAD CORE

    The swaging process allows 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 & FLATBASE DESIGNS

    Utilizing the proper base design provides incredible in-flight stability for long-range shooting.

223 WSSM FAQ

The velocity of a .223 WSSM bullet can vary depending on the specific load and bullet weight, but it typically ranges from around 3,700 to 4,000 feet per second (fps).

The .223 WSSM can be effective for deer hunting with proper shot placement, but it may not be the optimal choice due to its smaller bullet size and lighter weight compared to other popular deer hunting cartridges.

The main difference between .224 Valkyrie and .223 WSSM is the cartridge design and intended use. The .224 Valkyrie offers longer range and higher ballistic performance, while the .223 WSSM provides a shorter, high-velocity round primarily used for varmint hunting.

The .223 caliber is generally considered less ideal for deer hunting due to its smaller bullet size and lighter weight, which may not provide sufficient energy and penetration for reliable and ethical deer takedowns.
