Hornady Custom 223 Remington 55 Grain Soft Point Ammo - Box of 50

Hornady Custom 223 Remington 55 grain soft point rifle ammo delivers the handloaded accuracy you'd craft yourself, straight from the factory. This centerfire round pairs a proven soft point bullet with Hornady's reputation for consistency and quality control—every round hand-inspected before it ships. Whether you're zeroing at the range, working varmints under 50 pounds, or keeping a reliable option on hand for personal defense, this ammunition balances the precision you need with the performance hunters and shooters have trusted for decades.

The 55 grain soft point bullet is built for expansion and penetration, a combination that defines Hornady's approach to hunting ammunition. The soft point design initiates expansion on impact while maintaining the penetration needed for clean, ethical kills. Hornady's secant ogive bullet profile—a design hallmark of the company—optimizes ballistic efficiency and minimizes drag, which translates to flatter trajectories and more predictable performance downrange. You get the engineering of a premium handload without the time investment.

Hornady Custom ammunition is available across a wide range of hunting calibers, and this 223 Remington load fits seamlessly into an AR-platform rifle, bolt gun, or other modern centerfire shooter. The box of 50 rounds gives you enough to work up a load, dial in a new rifle, or maintain a reasonable range supply. Quality control is built in—not an afterthought—so you can focus on your shot rather than worrying about consistency round to round.
