The Federal AE223G American Eagle delivers precision varmint performance with 50-grain jacketed hollow point bullets engineered for rapid expansion and energy transfer. This 223 Remington ammunition combines Federal's quality manufacturing standards with an affordable price point that appeals to high-volume shooters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard FMJ rounds, the jacketed hollow point design creates controlled expansion upon impact, making it highly effective for varmint hunting and predator control. The 50-grain bullet weight provides flat trajectory characteristics while maintaining sufficient velocity for reliable terminal performance. Federal's consistent powder charges and quality brass cases ensure shot-to-shot reliability that exceeds many budget alternatives.
Key Features
- 50-grain jacketed hollow point bullets for rapid expansion
- 223 Remington chambering fits 223 Rem and 5.56 NATO firearms

Field performance shows excellent accuracy potential in bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles with 1:9 twist rates or faster. The hollow point design transfers energy efficiently on small game and varmints while the moderate bullet weight reduces barrel wear compared to heavier projectiles. Range sessions demonstrate consistent grouping capabilities, making this ammunition suitable for both hunting applications and target practice where expansion characteristics matter.
