Federal Varmint & Predator Rifle Ammo .223 Rem 53 Gr Fmj 3400 Fps 100/Ct

Federal Varmint & Predator .223 Rem ammunition delivers reliable, accurate performance for prairie dog, coyote, and small-game hunting. Built on Federal's reputation for consistent brass, primer, and propellant quality, this 53-grain FMJ load runs at 3400 fps—fast enough to maintain energy downrange while keeping recoil manageable for follow-up shots. Whether you're working predators across open country or zeroing in on varmint colonies, you get the straightforward reliability that makes Federal a go-to choice for serious hunters who can't afford a misfire in the field.

The 53-grain full-metal-jacket bullet is built for the velocities and distances typical of .223 hunting. Federal's engineering prioritizes consistent chamber pressures and ignition, which means tighter groups and fewer variables—exactly what you need when precision matters. A 100-round count per box makes it practical for practice days and hunting seasons alike, so you can dial in your rig without breaking the bank.

This is working ammunition: no-frills, proven, and purpose-built for hunters who value dependable function over marketing polish. If you shoot .223 for predators, varmints, or small game, Federal Varmint & Predator delivers the accuracy and reliability that let you focus on your shot, not your ammo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Federal Varmint & Predator .223 ammo good for hunting coyotes and prairie dogs?

Yes. This load is specifically designed for varmint and predator hunting. The 53-grain FMJ bullet at 3400 fps delivers the velocity and trajectory needed for extended-range shots at small-game and predator-sized targets.

What's included in a 100-round box?

Each box contains 100 rounds of .223 Rem ammunition loaded with a 53-grain full-metal-jacket bullet. That's enough for a solid practice session or a full hunting season depending on your shooting volume.

What caliber rifles will this ammo work in?

This ammunition is chambered in .223 Rem, so it will only function safely in rifles specifically marked for .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO (which can fire .223 Rem). Always verify your rifle's chamber marking before loading any ammunition.

How does the 3400 fps velocity compare to other .223 varmint loads?

At 3400 fps, this Federal load delivers solid downrange velocity for the 53-grain bullet weight, providing energy retention over distance and supporting flatter trajectory for varmint hunting at typical ranges.
