Federal American Eagle .223 55gr FMJ

Federal American Eagle .223 Remington is the standard by which many shooters judge training ammunition. As one of the most trusted names in American ammunition manufacturing, Federal produces this line specifically for high-volume shooters who demand consistency without premium pricing. The 55-grain full metal jacket boat tail design provides reliable feeding and stable flight characteristics across a wide range of AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles.

What sets American Eagle apart from budget imports is Federal's commitment to quality control and clean-burning powder formulations. Each round is loaded into virgin brass cases that are perfect for reloading, using non-corrosive Boxer primers that ensure reliable ignition in all weather conditions. The powder is formulated to burn cleanly, reducing carbon buildup and extending the time between cleanings. This makes American Eagle an excellent choice for extended range sessions where rifle maintenance might otherwise become a concern.

Federal's American Eagle line delivers ballistic performance that rivals much more expensive ammunition. With muzzle velocities of 3,240 fps and energy of 1,282 ft-lbs, this ammunition provides flat trajectories and excellent accuracy at medium ranges. The 1.75-inch drop at 100 yards makes it suitable for practical rifle applications from 25 to 300 yards. While not a match-grade load, American Eagle's consistency makes it ideal for zeroing optics, confirming point of impact, and developing shooting fundamentals.
