Frontier 223 Rem 55gr HP Match by Hornady – Precise 20 Round Box

Description

The Frontier 223 Rem 55gr HP Match load, item FR140, is a 20 round box of 223 Remington ammunition from Frontier Cartridge, a Hornady brand. It uses a 55 grain hollow point match bullet in new brass cases.

Frontier 223 Rem 55gr HP Match Overview

Frontier’s HP Match load is the step up from basic full metal jacket practice ammunition. The hollow point match bullet is built for accuracy, with a precise jacket and a consistent base that help it group tighter than ordinary FMJ, which makes it a good choice for zeroing optics, testing a new rifle and target shooting at 100 yards and beyond. It keeps the light, familiar 55 grain weight that most 223 rifles are regulated for. Like all Frontier ammunition, it uses new, boxer-primed brass that is reloadable, and it is produced to Hornady’s quality standards.

Intended Use

This is a target and training load built for accuracy. Match hollow points are designed for precision on paper, not for controlled expansion, so they are not the right choice for hunting game or for self-defense. For those purposes, choose a dedicated hunting or defensive bullet.

Bullet and Ballistics

At typical 223 Remington velocities, a 55 grain bullet shoots flat enough for 100 and 200 yard targets with modest holdover. The match-grade construction helps reduce shot-to-shot variation, so many shooters use this load to confirm the real accuracy potential of their rifle and optic. Velocity will be lower from short barrels, so confirm your drops at the distances you shoot.

Firearm Compatibility

Fire this ammunition in firearms chambered for 223 Remington, including AR-15s and bolt-action rifles. Rifles chambered for 5.56 NATO and 223 Wylde can also safely fire 223 Remington. Light 55 grain bullets stabilize in almost any twist rate. Keep it separate from 300 Blackout ammunition and magazines.

Reliability and Testing

Factory ammunition from an established maker is held to consistent standards, but every firearm is a little different. Shoot at least a box through your gun before you rely on any load, and watch for clean primer strikes, smooth feeding and positive extraction. If you shoot more than one load, note where each one prints at your usual distance so you can adjust sights or holds.

Recoil and Shootability

Recoil is very light, which helps shooters concentrate on trigger control and follow-through during precision practice. Hearing protection is still essential, especially with short barrels or muzzle brakes.

About Frontier Cartridge

Frontier Cartridge is manufactured by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska. The brand focuses on dependable, American-made ammunition for practice, training and general shooting, using new brass cases and quality bullets rather than remanufactured components. That consistency makes it easier to track your zero and build skills, because the ammunition is not adding variables from box to box.

Storage and Care

Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original box, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Inspect rounds for dents, loose bullets or corrosion before loading, and set aside anything that looks damaged.
