Berry'S Jacketed Rifle Bullets .223/5.56Mm .224" 55 Gr Fmjbt 5000/Can

Berry's Jacketed Rifle Bullets in .223/5.56mm are a solid choice for reloaders building practice, training, and competition loads. These .224" diameter, 55-grain full metal jacket boat-tail (FMJBT) bullets come in a 5000-round canister, giving you a dependable supply for high-volume shooting without constantly restocking. Made in-house at Berry's manufacturing facility in St. George, Utah, they're built to consistent standards that serious handloaders appreciate when they're trying to produce repeatable, accurate ammunition.

The full metal jacket design protects the lead core and helps these bullets feed reliably through modern sporting rifles and AR-pattern guns chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO. The boat-tail profile is engineered to improve ballistic efficiency, which translates to better downrange performance and less wind drift—useful whether you're punching paper at the range or running drills. At 55 grains, these bullets are right in the sweet spot for .223 rifles, balancing velocity potential with manageable recoil.

If you reload regularly, buying in bulk means fewer trips to the bench for bullet resupply and lower per-round costs over time. Berry's has built a reputation over decades among reloaders who value consistency and don't cut corners on component quality. When your load development depends on uniform, well-made bullets, these offer the reliability that serious shooters expect.
