You don’t reward yourself with a manicure and a bubble bath. You reward yourself with something inestimably more relaxing and therapeutic: AMMO.
If you want to make your AR-15 purr like a well-fed kitten sleeping next to a roaring fireplace, then get a load of these sweet puppies. Hornady’s Frontier 223 Rem ammo is intended for the best kind of shooting – high-volume range shooting – and loaded with fundamentally the same (nonmagnetic) 55 grain full metal jacket bullets as M193 spec 5.56 ammo. This ammo’s bullets have boat tails (less drag; greater stability; improved performance over longer distances). Its bullets also have more or less the same 0.243 G1 ballistic coefficient as M193, which means you can anticipate the following out of a 24” barrel:
0yds: 3,240 fps | 1,282 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,836 fps | 983 ft lbs | 1.4”
200yds: 2,468 fps | 744 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 2,128 fps | 553 ft lbs | -7.2”
400yds: 1,817 fps | 403 ft lbs | -22.1”
500yds: 1,539 fps | 289 ft lbs | -47.7”
WE WON’T DENY IT. Frontier label ammo’s brass cases look a little discolored around their shoulders. That’s because they are. The cases were heat treated, as is normal, but they weren’t polished afterward. That does not affect performance or reloadability in any way whatsoever. It just means the cases aren’t as shiny as usual, which, in the grand scheme of things, isn’t likely to matter all that much.
