Hornady BLACK 223 Remington 62 grain FMJ ammunition delivers reliable, versatile performance across the full spectrum of .223 platforms—from direct impingement and gas piston rifles to suppressed and unsuppressed carbines. If you run an AR-15, hunt varmints, or shoot matches, this domestically manufactured round is built to cycle smoothly and shoot true in whatever platform you bring to the range or field. The full metal jacket design and consistent Hornady quality control make it a go-to choice for shooters who demand ammunition that performs predictably, shot after shot.
What makes Hornady BLACK stand out is its engineering for *compatibility across platforms*. Whether your rifle uses direct impingement, gas piston, or bolt action; whether you run it suppressed, unsuppressed, or in mid-length configs—Hornady BLACK is optimized to feed and function reliably. That versatility matters when you own multiple rifles or when you're trying ammunition in a platform for the first time. The 62 grain FMJ bullet is a proven weight for .223, offering a balance of velocity, terminal performance, and accuracy that works for target shooting, varmint control on small game, and general range work.
Each box contains 20 rounds of ammunition manufactured to Hornady's quality standards. High-quality cases, reliable primers, and consistent propellant loads ensure you get the same performance from the first round to the last. For shooters looking for American-made .223 ammunition that doesn't compromise on consistency or reliability, Hornady BLACK delivers the performance you expect at a realistic cost per round.
