DOUBLETAP - 223 REM - 62 GR - FMJ - 20 RDS/BOX
DoubleTap's 223 Remington 62gr FMJ is American-made, match-grade ammunition built on the legendary SS109/M855 standard — delivering the same steel-penetrating performance trusted by the U.S. military, right out of Cedar City, Utah.
- 62-grain SS109 Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail steel penetrator projectile
- Blazing muzzle velocity of 3,200 fps with 1,410 ft-lbs of energy
- 100% new manufacture — no surplus or remanufactured components used
- Match-grade consistency for tight, repeatable groups at long range
- Boat tail design reduces drag and improves downrange stability
- Loaded to M855/SS109 spec, compatible with standard .223 Rem chambers
Who This Is For
This load is ideal for precision shooters, AR-15 enthusiasts, and competitive marksmen who demand consistent long-range performance without paying a premium for imported or surplus stock. It's equally well-suited for range training sessions where match-grade accuracy and reliable feeding are non-negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as military M855 / SS109 ammunition?
Yes — DoubleTap loads this round to the same SS109/M855 specification used by the U.S. military, using the same 62-grain steel penetrator projectile with a boat tail design. However, this is brand-new commercial ammunition manufactured in Cedar City, UT, not surplus or pulled military stock, so you get consistent, reliable performance in every round.
Will this ammunition work in my standard .223 Remington rifle?
This ammunition is chambered in .223 Remington and will function reliably in any rifle with a standard .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO chamber. Because 5.56 chambers have slightly more headspace, they are safe to use with .223 ammunition. Always verify your firearm's chamber specification before use, especially with the steel penetrator core, as some range facilities restrict steel-core projectiles.
How does the boat tail design improve accuracy compared to flat-base bullets?
The boat tail base tapers the rear of the projectile, which significantly reduces base drag as the bullet travels downrange. This helps the round maintain velocity and stability over longer distances, resulting in a flatter trajectory and tighter groupings — a key reason this load is marketed as match-grade ammunition suitable for precision shooting applications.
