Federal Premium’s Tactical Bonded 223 Rem (LE223T3) ammunition is made for law enforcement officers’ rifles – hence the “LE” in its product number. This is Federal Premium’s Personal Defense series 223 Rem (TCB223SP), which, as you can tell from the “TCB,” is identical to Tactical Bonded save for its packaging.
In other words, if your home were invaded – and lethal force were merited – this is the same ammo the cops might use to save your life (assuming they still have time to do so upon their arrival).
This round is armed with a 62 grain bonded soft point. Its greater mass, abnormally tough construction, and expanding design equip the SP it to overcome barriers reliably, penetrate flesh deeply, and widen out quickly. According to Federal, if the bullet is fired (A) out of a 24” barrel (B) over a distance of 10’ and (C) into a sheet of wallboard backed by ordnance gelatin, it would (D) retain 100% of its weight, (E) penetrate to a depth of 17.75” (which falls within the ideal range of 12-18”), and (F) expand to a diameter of 0.42”. That all adds up to (G): a very unhappy home invader.
Federal advertises this rounds bullet as having 0.224 G1 BC. Here’s the ballistic performance that number represents out of a 24” barrel:
0yds: 3,050 fps | 1,281 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,632 fps | 954 ft lbs | 1.8”
200yds: 2,251 fps | 697 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1,902 fps | 498 ft lbs | -8.7”
400yds: 1,592 fps | 349 ft lbs | -27.2”
500yds: 1,330 fps | 244 ft lbs | -59.5”
