FRONTIER 223REM 55GR HP MATCH 20/500

Description

Hornady’s Frontier line was built to give shooters access to Hornady bullets at a price point suited for high-volume training, varmint work, and general range use. This 20-round box loads a 55-grain HP Match projectile — a hollow point seated to match-grade tolerances — which makes it a practical choice when you want tighter groups than bulk FMJ typically delivers without paying for premium hunting ammunition. The hollow point geometry aids accuracy by producing a more consistent ballistic profile than a flat-base or soft-point construction, and the match designation signals that the bullet is manufactured to tighter dimensional specs than standard-grade projectiles.

Every Frontier round uses brass cartridge cases and military-grade Boxer primers. Brass holds dimensions better under the pressures of semi-automatic cycling than steel-cased alternatives, and Boxer-primed brass is straightforward to resize and reload if you build your own rounds. The propellant is military-spec as well, which contributes to the consistency you need when running this ammunition through a rifle that feeds reliably on Lake City-profile cartridges. Muzzle velocity runs at 3,240 feet per second with 1,282 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle — figures that keep this load effective on small varmints at practical field distances while remaining controllable for rapid follow-up fire on paper. For the shooter running an AR-platform rifle chambered in .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO, Frontier offers a middle ground between bulk training fodder and match-grade premium loads.
