223 Rem - 55 Grain BTHP - Winchester Super-X - 500 Rounds

Looking for a coyote and varmint hunting round? Or just something you can run through your AR-15 the next time you’re able to sneak in some target practice? Winchester’s Super-X 223 Rem will take care of you either way! This cartridge’s bullet weighs 55 grains and hits a velocity of 3,240 fps as it exits a rifle barrel. Those are the 223 Rem’s classic, tried and true specs. The BTHP projectile is a little more special than your typical FMJ, however. Here is a bullet with a tapered base that slightly raises its ballistic coefficient. You’re going to see a flatter trajectory and improved resistance to wind drift because of it. The BTHP bullet’s lead core is also form-fitted to promote better in-flight stability. This type of hollow point bullet isn’t designed for terminal expansion, but its impact energy alone ought to prove sufficient to power through to a predator’s vitals. Winchester’s ammo is loaded in the US of A with new and reloadable cases – gotta save such useful brass! The old American manufacturer only loads non-corrosive primers, and their propellant minimizes carbon fouling as well.

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.
