DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr SS109 – Powerful 223 Remington Rifle Ammo, 3200 fps, 20 Rounds

Description

The DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr SS109 load is built for shooters who want more from their 223 Remington than typical factory ammunition delivers. DoubleTap loads a 62 grain SS109 FMJ-BT bullet with a steel penetrator core to a rated 3200 feet per second, producing about 1410 foot-pounds of energy from a 22 inch barrel. SS109 is the NATO-standard 62 grain bullet with a steel penetrator in its nose, and it is the projectile behind the M855 loading many AR-15 owners know.

Many AR-15 owners keep a few different loads on hand. The DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr SS109 sits alongside the 55 and 62 grain FMJ-BT match loads for practice and the 69 and 77 grain HPBT loads for longer-range precision.

Buying ammunition by the box from the same production lot keeps velocity and point of impact consistent from one range trip to the next. Keep a record of the load you carry, check your ammunition for dents or loose bullets from time to time, and rotate your carry rounds so the ones in your firearm stay fresh. These simple habits help you get the full performance DoubleTap builds into every cartridge.

Before you trust any new load, fire enough rounds through your firearm to confirm it feeds, fires and ejects reliably and that the point of impact matches your sights. Full-power loads produce more recoil and muzzle blast than typical range ammo, so practice with the DoubleTap 223 Rem 62gr SS109 until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.

Why Choose DoubleTap 223 Rem Ammo

The 62 grain SS109 bullet was designed to penetrate better than earlier lead-core 55 grain bullets, thanks to its steel penetrator tip. DoubleTap rates this load at 3200 fps and 1410 foot-pounds from a 22 inch barrel, with about 3050 fps from a 20 inch and 2950 fps from a 16 inch carbine, and it stabilizes best in 1:7 or 1:9 twist barrels.

When you compare 223 rem rifle ammo, check your range rules first. Because this 223 rem 62 grain ss109 load has a steel core, some indoor ranges and steel-target ranges do not allow it, since it can damage backstops and targets. It is labeled for 223 Remington, so it can be fired in rifles marked 223 or 5.56 NATO.

DoubleTap Ammunition is an American company known for loading popular calibers to their full potential, especially the 10mm Auto and other magnum handgun rounds. Doubletap 223 rem ammo is loaded with quality components and brass cases, and many shooters choose it when they want the performance a caliber was designed for rather than a reduced-power range load.

AR-15 owners, preparedness-minded shooters and anyone who wants a NATO-style 62 grain load for training will find this a practical choice. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for 223 Remington, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
