Description
The Federal 223 Rem 73gr Berger BT Target load is built for shooters who want more from their .223 Remington than typical factory ammunition delivers. Federal loads a 73 grain Berger boat-tail target to a rated 2800 feet per second, producing about 1271 foot-pounds of energy. Gold Medal ammunition is loaded with match-grade primers and carefully selected cases, and the Berger BT Target bullet is known for its uniform construction and high ballistic coefficient.

- Quality brass cases and reliable primers
- Suited to competition and long-range practice
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 Federal 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 Federal 223 Rem 73gr Berger BT Target until you are comfortable with it, and store the rest in a cool, dry place in the original box.
The .223 Remington was introduced in 1964 and is closely related to the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge used in the AR-15 family of rifles. It is one of the most popular rifle cartridges in America for target shooting, training and varmint hunting, thanks to its mild recoil, flat trajectory and the huge variety of rifles chambered for it.

Why Choose Federal 223 Rem Ammo
Competitors and long-range shooters looking for 223 rem match ammo need tight groups and consistent velocity. This Gold Medal Berger load from Federal is assembled with match-grade components and tight quality control for repeatable accuracy.
The 223 rem 73 grain berger bullet leaves the muzzle at about 2800 fps with roughly 1271 ft-lbs of energy. The heavy-for-caliber Berger bullet resists wind drift far better than lighter .223 bullets, making it a strong choice for across-the-course and long-range service rifle competition.
Federal Premium has made ammunition in Anoka, Minnesota since 1922 and is one of the largest ammunition makers in the country. Its Gold Medal Berger line is built with the same quality controls as its premium hunting and law enforcement loads, and federal 223 rem ammo is trusted by shooters, hunters and agencies across the United States.
This ammunition is a good fit for owners of AR-15 service rifles, precision AR builds and bolt-action .223 target rifles with barrels fast enough to stabilize 73 grain bullets, typically 1-in-8 inch twist or faster. Always confirm your firearm is chambered for .223 Remington, wear eye and ear protection, and follow all federal, state and local laws.
