Federal American Eagle .223 Remington ammunition (part no. FC223F500) packs a 55-grain full metal jacket bullet into a 500-round bulk case built for shooters who burn through range ammo fast. Federal loads American Eagle with reloadable brass cases, consistent primers, and quality bullets at a price built for high-volume practice rather than a hunting trip. At a listed 3,240 feet per second, it runs flat and predictable through an AR-15 or bolt-action .223, so you spend the session working fundamentals instead of chasing a wandering zero. For range days, training classes, or just burning through a lot of .223, this bulk case keeps the cost per trigger pull down.
