Hornady Frontier .223 Remington 55-grain Hollow Point Match ammunition (brand part no. FR1405) is built for shooters who put hundreds of rounds downrange and want every one to land the same. Hornady assembles the Frontier line with American-made brass cases and military-grade boxer primers, keeping ignition consistent from the first round to the last box in the case. The 55-grain hollow point bullet is a match-grade open-tip design, not a hunting expansion bullet, so it holds a tight, repeatable point of impact through a wide range of AR-platform and bolt-gun barrels. Between the price point and the brass construction, it is a natural fit for range days, load development, and club-level match prep in rifle ammunition.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, running through most AR-15 and bolt-action rifles built for the cartridge.
• The bullet weighs 55 grains, a middle-weight match choice that balances flat trajectory with manageable recoil.
• The bullet is an open-tip hollow point match design, built to fly consistently rather than expand on impact.
• Match-grade construction keeps shot-to-shot consistency tight, which is what actually drives smaller groups at distance.
• Cases are brass, resisting corrosion and holding up well for shooters who collect and reload their fired brass.
• Brass cases also feed and extract reliably through semi-automatic actions, a real advantage over steel-cased ammo in AR-platform rifles.
• Each box runs about $0.64 per round, a workable cost for high-volume range and match sessions.
• The box ships at roughly 1.32 pounds, worth knowing when planning bulk case-quantity orders.
• Each box holds 50 rounds, a practical count for an afternoon at the range or a club match.

Frequently Asked Questions
