Hornady Frontier Rifle Ammunition in .223 Rem offers shooters a reliable, cost-effective round built on Hornady's reputation for consistency and quality. This 500-count case loads 55-grain hollow-point-match (HP-MATCH) projectiles at 3240 fps, making it a solid choice for target shooting, training, and range time where precision and repeatability matter. Whether you're zeroing a new rifle, running drills, or putting downrange volume, Frontier ammunition delivers the performance you'd expect from Hornady's engineering at a practical price point.
Frontier Cartridge ammunition uses Hornady bullets paired with military-grade brass cases and boxer primers, giving you the foundation for consistent velocities and reliable ignition shot after shot. The combination of Hornady's state-of-the-art loading techniques and rigorous quality control means you're getting ammunition manufactured to exacting standards, not generic surplus or remanufactured stock. For shooters who demand dependability—whether at the range, in training, or in the field—that consistency is worth its weight.
A 500-round case is the practical choice for serious shooters. It's enough volume to justify the case discount without requiring warehouse space, and it keeps you supplied through extended range sessions or a full season of training. If you run an AR-15 or other .223 Rem-chambered rifle and you're tired of hunting for ammo, a case of Frontier gives you breathing room.
