Lapua’s .223 Remington 55-grain full metal jacket load (brand part no. 4315042) brings the Finnish manufacturer’s reputation for tight tolerances to an everyday range and training round. Lapua builds every case and bullet to exacting dimensional standards, so chamber pressures and muzzle velocities stay consistent from round to round instead of drifting across a box. The 55-grain FMJ bullet is a standard training weight for .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO rifles, reliable in AR-platform carbines and bolt guns alike. Lapua has built its name on precision ammunition and components trusted by hunters, competitors, and military users worldwide, and this loading carries that manufacturing discipline into a practical range round. Twenty rounds ship per box, cased in lots of 600 for shooters who put in serious range time.
