223 Rem - 62 Grain Barnes TSX - Black Hills - 50 Rounds

This .223 Remington varmint ammunition is the perfect choice for an AR-15 or other .223 Remington/5.56 NATO rifle if you're looking to exterminate a coyote or groundhog infestation. Each cartridge in this box of 50 fires a heavy 62 grain Barnes TSX solid copper hollow point bullet at a muzzle velocity of 3,100 feet per second. This results in external ballistics similar to M855 ball ammunition popular for range use; when the round strikes its target, however, the results are completely different. The Barnes TSX bullet is designed to expand into four petals for devastating effect against various types of game. To avoid the fouling issues that plagued earlier solid copper designs, the TSX has three grooves cut into its shank to absorb expanding bullet material. This also has the beneficial effect of reducing chamber pressures and making safe but powerful loads possible. Black Hills ammunition is loaded in Rapid City, South Dakota using non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases. Barnes bullets are made in Mona, Utah.

45 ACP - 155 Grain RHT Frangible - Speer Lawman - 50 Rounds

Even the most cautious shooter is subject to certain dangers when they train. Shooting at steel targets and against hard backdrops presents a real risk of splash-back, where copper and lead fragments ricochet back to do serious damage. Splash-back is also a common problem at indoor ranges, where poor ventilation may also cause toxic lead to linger in a carcinogenic haze! But Speer’s Lawman line of ammunition works to make all those risks moot. This 45 ACP cartridge features Speer’s 155 grain Reduced Hazard Training projectile. The frangible bullet is comprised of 100 percent compressed copper particles, which are hardened but not fused together in a process called sintering. The RHT accordingly stays intact as it feeds and fires, but crushes itself into powder when it slaps a steel target or other hard surface. And in conjunction with this round’s heavy metal free Clean-Fire primer, the RHT poses no threat of producing airborne lead that could have accumulated indoors. This round’s lightweight bullet grants it a fast muzzle velocity, although you will find Speer’s training ammo reliably mimics many other conventional self-defense loads. Speer gives their RHT a distinctive pattern on its tip for easy identification, and complements it with a new brass case and clean burning propellant for superior functionality in a semi-auto.
