The Berry’s .223 caliber 55-grain FMJ bullet (brand part no. 93300) is a .224-inch full metal jacket reloading bullet sold 500 to the box. Berry’s forms a copper jacket by drawing it around a swaged lead core with traditional jacketing techniques, shaping it to encapsulate the core in the classic full metal jacket boat-tail profile. Unlike Berry’s plated bullets, a true drawn jacket is built for rifle velocities, and Berry’s notes these suit higher-pressure NATO-style loads and flat-shooting velocities. Berry’s lists a G1 ballistic coefficient of .249 for its 55-grain FMJ. For reloaders building bulk .223 or 5.56 practice ammunition, it is the standard weight in a workable quantity.
