Federal American Eagle AE223N .223 Rem ammunition delivers full-power loads in a package designed for shooters who want to train the way they'll actually compete or hunt. This 20-round box features 62-grain full metal jacket boat-tail bullets, the kind of soft-point construction that lets you dial in your rifle's zero and velocity without switching loads when match day or season arrives. Whether you're running drills at the range, zeroing a new optic, or building confidence in your fundamentals, American Eagle gives you consistent performance at a straightforward value.
The .223 Rem remains one of the most versatile rifle cartridges in North America, equally at home in AR-15s, bolt guns, and modern sporting rifles. American Eagle's 62-grain loading sits in the practical middle ground—lighter than some match rounds, heavier than varmint loads—making it a sensible choice for general rifle shooting. The FMJBT design ensures reliable feeding and consistent bullet performance downrange, shot after shot.
Federal's American Eagle line has built its reputation on honest, no-nonsense ammunition: good materials, tight quality control, and prices that don't require a second mortgage. You get full-strength loads (not underpowered practice ammo) that shoot to the same zero and impact point as your hunting or competition ammunition, so your training actually transfers to the moment that counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition shoot to the same point of aim as my hunting or match loads?
American Eagle loads are full-strength ammunition, not reduced-power practice rounds. Because they use the same powder charges as Federal's standard loads, your rifle will shoot to the same zero and trajectory with American Eagle as it will with hunting ammunition in the same caliber and bullet weight. Always verify your actual gun's zero before any critical use.
Is this .223 ammo compatible with my AR-15?
Yes. The .223 Rem is the standard rifle cartridge for AR-15 platforms. This ammunition will function reliably in any AR-15 or other rifle chambered for .223 Rem, assuming your gun is in good working order. Always check your specific firearm's manual for any restrictions.
What's included in each box?
Each box contains 20 rounds of Federal American Eagle AE223N ammunition with 62-grain FMJBT bullets.
