Frontier Cartridge .223 Remington ammunition (part no. FR140) loads a 55-grain hollow point match bullet on Lake City military brass, giving practice and match shooters a Hornady-made round built for accuracy rather than plain ball ammo. Hornady builds the Frontier line specifically as an affordable match-grade option, loading its own hollow point match bullet on surplus-grade Lake City brass to keep cost down without cutting corners on accuracy. In rifle ammunition, this is the box for the shooter who wants match consistency at a practice-ammo price.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, running in any rifle chambered for either round.
• The bullet is a 55-grain hollow point match, Hornady’s own match-grade bullet design rather than plain FMJ ball ammo.
• The case is Lake City military-contract brass, sourced from the same arsenal that supplies U.S. military ammunition.
• The case material is brass, reloadable and reliable through both bolt and semi-auto actions.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, sized for a range session without committing to a full case.
• At roughly $0.64 per round, it costs more than plain FMJ ball but less than dedicated match ammunition.
• Hornady markets Frontier as a budget-friendly way to shoot match-grade bullets without match-grade pricing.
• This load is built for practice and precision work, not for feeding a magazine-dump range day.
• Shipping weight is 0.565 lb, useful for estimating total shipping cost on a bulk order.
