Call up work and tell ‘em you can’t make it. Wake up your wife (assuming she is sleeping) and tell her you’re sorry, but you can’t go to her parents’ house for dinner tonight. Write the IRS and let them know you don’t have time to pay your taxes this year. They’ll understand, because you’re taking your AR to the range!
And you couldn’t have chosen better ammo to do it with. Hornady’s American Gunner 223 Rem is the real stuff: all American-made components, expertly loaded and inspected to ensure tirelessly smooth functionality in all makes, models and styles of 5.56/223 rifles.
This cartridge is loaded with the hollow point. Now, right away, get any ideas about terminal expansion out of your mind. The HP will kill a varmint no issue, but it will not undergo terminal expansion like you’d want for anchoring a buck or other medium-size critter. The HP only has a nose cavity because Hornady injected liquid lead into its copper-alloy jacket – the reason why its rotational stability is a little better than an FMJ’s.
Hornady recorded this round’s 3,240 fps muzzle velocity with a 24” barrel. Its 55 grain bullet defeats frontal air resistance efficiently enough to attain a 0.254 G1 BC – the reason why it coasts along a flat trajectory which climaxes at 1.5” before reaching a 200-yard zero (assuming the rifle’s sights are also 1.5” high).
This ammo is absolutely reloadable. Reload it and see for yourself!
