Rifle Ammos Descriptions
223 Rem - 62 Grain FMJ - Hornady BLACK - 200 Rounds
Hornady’s BLACK ammunition is not particular about which type of rifle you’re firing. This 223 Rem ammo will work splendidly in your AR-15 whether it is direct impingement or gas piston. This American-made 223 will work just as well in your bolt-action rifle. It’s a truly versatile selection for target shooting. Experienced enthusiasts might see this round’s 62 grain bullet and wonder whether it’s an M855. It is not – just a simple FMJ without a molecule of steel in its core or its jacket. As such this ammo delivers practically identical ballistic performance to that of the M855, but you can also enjoy firing it at any range you please. The 223’s 62 grain FMJ has a slower muzzle velocity than a 55 grain bullet, but it compensates with faster velocities once it has passed the 300-yard mark. Its higher ballistic coefficient also gives the 62 grain FMJ better resistance to wind drift, although you’ll want a barrel with a 1:9 or 1:8 twist to witness its fullest potential long-distance accuracy. Horandy’s nonmagnetic bullet is seated in a high-quality brass case – smooth-cycling and also reloadable, once its non-corrosive Boxer primer has received its indentation.
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.
