Rifle Ammos Descriptions

223 Rem - 55 Grain BTHP - Winchester Super-X - 20 Rounds

This 223 Rem ammunition by Winchester Super-X won’t just make a good partner the next time you get to the rifle range. Its projectile is also suited for taking varmints and predators! The BTHP is not engineered to open up and expand as it enters soft tissue, so it’s not an ideal choice for taking medium-sized game. What it does offer is accuracy. This round’s bullet has an evenly distributed lead core, as it solidified in place after it was poured into the jacket. So well-balanced a bullet performs even better thanks to its boat tail base, which reduces in-flight drag to help the bullet follow a flat trajectory, resist wind drift, and retain greater energy as it zips downrange. Super-X ammunition is loaded with clean-burning powder and non-corrosive primers, which together push this 223 Rem load’s 55 grain bullet to a reliable 3,240 fps muzzle velocity. New and uniformly tapered brass cases help an AR-15 cycle smoothy even after they have been reloaded a few times.

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.
