Overview

Federal Tactical Bonded LE223T3 is the concrete 62-grain bonded soft-point load behind this catalog slot. It is a .223 Remington law-enforcement rifle load built around controlled expansion and barrier performance rather than match accuracy or low-cost training.

Federal's product specification sheet lists LE223T3 with a 62gr bonded soft-point bullet, nickel-plated brass case, staked Federal 205 primer, 3,050 fps instrumental velocity from a 24-inch SAAMI test barrel, and 1,280 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The load is not generic green-tip or FMJ training ammunition; it belongs in the defensive/barrier-capable lane alongside other bonded soft-point rifle loads.

Availability can be uneven because LE223T3 and related contract-overrun lots often move through law-enforcement or bulk channels. Treat the catalog price as a normalized 20-round market baseline and verify the exact SKU, case material, and packaging before buying in quantity.
