Hornady Black Rifle Ammunition in .223 Remington is designed for shooters who demand reliable performance across AR-15s, bolt guns, and other modern rifle platforms. Each round loads a 55-grain Boat Tail Hollow Point (BTHP) bullet launched at 3240 fps, delivering a balanced combination of velocity and accuracy that works for both tactical shooting and hunting applications. This 150-round count box makes it easy to stock up for range sessions, training, or field work without breaking your supply chain.

Hornady Black ammunition is built with consistency in mind. The line uses quality cases, primers, and propellant formulations that are designed to perform reliably across a wide range of rifles—whether you're running a piston gun, direct impingement, or a bolt-action .223. The 55-grain BTHP bullet profile offers a combination of penetration and expansion suitable for varmint hunting and tactical use, with the boat tail design contributing to flatter trajectories and more predictable performance downrange.

If you shoot .223 regularly—whether for sighting in, testing loads, or running drills—having consistent ammunition you can rely on matters. Hornady Black delivers that without the premium price tag of match-grade ammo, making it a smart choice for the serious rifleman who wants to shoot more without compromise.
