223 Rem - 55 Grain FMJBT - Federal American Eagle - 1000 Rounds

Maybe you’re a high volume shooter. Maybe you’re a busy beaver who likes to stock up for the winter. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong with 1,000 rounds of 223 Rem ammo by Federal if you own an AR-15 or any other rifle chambered for 223 or 5.56x45. Federal’s American Eagle 223 Rem performs exactly like the U.S. Army’s M193 cartridge with its 55 grain bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps. It’s a standard FMJBT with a solid point that inhibits terminal expansion, gilding metal exterior for smooth feeding and reduced barrel leading, and tapering base that helps retain more velocity downrange for a flatter trajectory. The bullet’s 0.269 G1 ballistic coefficient means it reaches 300 yards traveling at nearly twice the speed of sound, at which point it still carries over 600 ft lbs of energy. This Minnesota-made ammunition has brand new brass cases. They’re supple enough to promote clean ignition as they expand to seal the chamber, and they return to their original dimensions following ignition so they can be reloaded. This new production ammo has non-corrosive Boxer primers and is completely nonmagnetic. See the “BKX” at the end of this ammo’s SKU? That just means it comes loose-packed 1,000 rounds to a big cardboard box. Open this ammo once and you’ll be all done opening it!

45 ACP - 230 Grain FNEB - Remington Subsonic - 50 Rounds

Do you have a 45 ACP handgun? Do you also have a suppressor? Then all you need now is the ammo. Remington and Advanced Armament Corporation codeveloped this ammo so you can maximize your suppressed handgun’s performance. The 45 ACP is already a subsonic cartridge, and Remington’s Subsonic label ammo certainly doesn’t reinvent the wheel in that department. What this cartridge offers that’s special is its bullet: a flat nose enclosed base. No part of the bullet’s core is exposed to hot propellant gasses during ignition, so you can look forward to not having to scrub any lead residue off of your suppressor’s ports or baffles. This bullet’s flat nose profile won’t deliver terminal expansion. But if your objective is to avoid deafening yourself while you use your handgun during home defense, you’ll still find 230 grains of lead and copper suitable for the job. This bullet transfers more than 320 ft lbs of energy over any distance your home could possibly contain. Even if it hasn’t got a suppressor, your handgun should have zero difficulty cycling this brass-cased, non-corrosive and clean-burning American-made ammunition.
