Nosler 223 Rem 55Gr Bt 20/200

Nosler 223 Rem 55-grain Ballistic Tip ammunition delivers proven hunting performance in one of the most versatile centerfire rifle cartridges. The 55-grain Ballistic Tip bullet combines a polymer-tipped design with a boat-tail profile, engineered to expand reliably across the velocity ranges typical of varmint and small-to-medium game hunting. If you're running an AR-15, a .223 bolt gun, or any rifle chambered in 223 Remington, this is ammunition built for consistency and accuracy whether you're working coyotes at extended range or taking deer at practical hunting distances.

The Ballistic Tip's heavily jacketed base is constructed to support controlled expansion while the boat-tail geometry minimizes drag and helps maintain velocity downrange. This bullet design works across the speeds you'll encounter in real field conditions—no magical velocity windows, just honest terminal performance. Nosler has been refining their hunting bullets since the 1980s, and the Ballistic Tip line remains a go-to option for hunters who want reliable expansion and penetration without the premium price tag of some newer designs.

You get 20 rounds per box; most shooters will run one or two boxes for hunting season, making this a straightforward way to stock reliable ammo without overcommitting. Whether you're sighting in for a hunt, running field practice, or just making sure your rifle performs when it counts, Nosler's consistency and the 55-grain weight's proven track record make this a solid choice for 223 shooters.
