FED 223REM 55GR FMJ 500/1000

Description

Federal’s American Eagle Training line exists for one purpose: keeping the round count high without punishing the budget. This 500-round value pack of .223 Rem 55-grain FMJ is built around the same brass and primers Federal uses across its premium lines, which matters when you’re running a rifle hard through drills or long range sessions and need consistent ignition across the board.

The 55-grain FMJ is a practical choice for high-volume AR-15 work. It’s light enough to cycle reliably in a wide range of gas-system configurations and feeds cleanly through standard mil-spec chambers. At a muzzle velocity of 3,240 fps, it carries enough energy to give you honest feedback at distance without the erratic flight characteristics that can come from pushing a heavier projectile through a faster twist rate than it was designed for.

The round is built to military specifications, which means dimensional consistency is a design requirement rather than an afterthought — that translates directly to reliable feeding and predictable chamber pressures across a long training day. With a ballistic coefficient of .269, it holds velocity reasonably well out to moderate ranges, making it serviceable for target work beyond the 100-yard line even if it’s not optimized for extended long-range precision.

Packaged in a 500-round count, this is ammunition sized for a training schedule, not a single outing. It pairs straightforwardly with any .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO chamber, covering the majority of modern sporting rifles without any special considerations on the shooter’s end.
