The DoubleTap Longrange .223 Remington 69gr HPBT Match load (DoubleTap part no. 223R69HP) is a 20-round box built for shooters who care about group size at distance. DoubleTap describes it as a match-grade loading that delivers tight groups and a good fit for any distance shooting. The bullet is a 69-grain Nosler Custom Competition hollow point boat tail, the style of projectile long-range .223 shooters reach for. A published trajectory table uses a 250-yard zero and runs out to 500 yards. It suits precision AR rifles, bolt guns and prone or position matches.
