Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition work reliably in my AR-15 chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO?
Yes. Fiocchi's .223 Remington 62gr FMJ BT is designed for rifles chambered in .223 Remington and will also function safely in firearms with a 5.56 NATO chamber, which is dimensionally slightly larger. If your rifle is chambered strictly in .223 Remington, avoid running 5.56 NATO-spec ammunition, but this .223 Rem load is appropriate for both chamber types.
How does the 62-grain bullet compare to the more common 55-grain .223 loads for target shooting?
The 62-grain FMJ BT is slightly heavier than the popular 55-grain loads, which gives it a higher ballistic coefficient and a bit more retained energy at distance. This means slightly less wind drift and a flatter trajectory at longer ranges, making it an excellent choice for shooters who want a little more precision at 100–300 yards without stepping up to a dedicated match bullet.
Is this Fiocchi .223 ammunition reloadable?
Yes. Fiocchi uses quality brass casings that are fully reloadable. Once fired, the cases can be resized, reprimed, and reloaded using standard .223 Remington reloading dies. This makes Fiocchi brass a solid value for handloaders looking to extend the life of their spent cases.
