Description

The Fiocchi .223 Remington 55gr pointed soft point (Fiocchi part no. 223B50) is a 50-round varmint load from the Fiocchi Field Dynamics Varmint line. Fiocchi engineers the line for speed and accuracy on coyotes and small game, and this 55-grain bullet leaves the muzzle at 3230 fps. It suits a bolt gun or a carbine used for predator calling, ground squirrels or general varmint work. A 50-round box gives you enough ammunition for a sight-in and a day in the field.
