FED AM EAGLE V&P 223REM 50GR 50/250

Description

Federal’s American Eagle Varmint & Predator load is built around a single purpose: fast, decisive terminal performance on small to medium varmints and predators. Whether you’re working prairie dog towns at moderate distance or calling coyotes at last light, this ammunition is designed to do the job without asking you to reach for a premium hunting line.

The 50-grain jacketed hollow point is the core of what makes this load work. At impact, the hollow point initiates rapid, violent expansion that transfers energy quickly — the kind of terminal behavior that matters on animals where anchoring a hit cleanly is the goal. The bullet is not designed to retain weight or exit; it’s optimized to expend its energy inside the target, which is exactly what varmint and predator hunters need.

A muzzle velocity of 3,325 feet per second gives this load a flat trajectory out to practical field distances, which reduces holdover correction when shooting at the varied ranges typical of open-country varmint hunting. The ballistic coefficient of .204 reflects a design tuned for speed rather than long-range wind resistance — at the distances where this load is most useful, that’s the right trade-off.

Federal uses their own brass, primers, and propellant throughout, which means the components are matched to each other rather than assembled from mixed sources. That consistency matters for feeding reliability and round-to-round velocity spread. Sold in a 50-round box, this is a practical quantity for a range session or a morning in the field.
