Buffalo Bore’s Sniper line brings a heavy-for-caliber 77-grain hollow point boat tail to .223 Remington (brand part no. S2237720), stepping well past the 55- and 62-grain weights most factory ammunition settles for. Buffalo Bore Ammunition pairs the extra bullet weight with a boat-tail base that cuts drag at distance, holding velocity and energy longer than a flat-base bullet of the same weight for a flatter trajectory downrange. The company builds this load field-proven for shooters who need real accuracy from a .223-chambered rifle, not just volume of fire. For precision shooters browsing rifle ammunition who have outgrown 55-grain bulk ammo, this is a genuine step up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this ammunition safe in a 5.56 NATO rifle? Yes. This is a .223 Remington load, which runs at lower pressure than 5.56 NATO, so it is safe in rifles chambered in .223 Remington, .223 Wylde, or 5.56 NATO. A 1:8 or faster twist barrel stabilizes the 77-grain bullet best.

Why a 77-grain bullet in .223 Remington? The heavier bullet retains energy better and holds accuracy at extended range compared to common lighter loads.
