Federal American Eagle Rifle Ammunition .223 Rem 62 gr FMJ 3020 fps 500/ct
Federal American Eagle Rifle Ammunition in .223 Rem is a go-to choice for shooters who want reliable, no-nonsense ammo without breaking the bank. This 500-round case pairs a 62-grain full metal jacket (FMJ) projectile with a muzzle velocity of 3020 fps, delivering consistent performance downrange whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills at the range, or practicing for hunting season. The 500-round count makes it practical for serious practice sessions or building your ammunition reserves without frequent restocking.
American Eagle has been a workhorse in the .223 market for decades. The 62-grain FMJ load offers a balance of velocity and energy suitable for target shooting and training applications. Federal's quality control and consistent brass ensure reliable feeding and extraction across most modern .223 platforms—from AR-15s to bolt-action rifles. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a hunter sighting in, or someone who just enjoys regular trigger time, this ammunition delivers the dependability you need to focus on your marksmanship.
The bulk case format is ideal for shooters who log regular rounds downrange. At 3020 fps, the 62-grain projectile generates enough velocity for flat trajectory at typical range distances, and the FMJ construction minimizes fouling compared to some alternatives, helping keep your barrel cleaner during extended shooting sessions.
