The Federal AE223N American Eagle delivers consistent performance for high-volume shooting at an affordable price point. This 223 Remington ammunition features 62-grain full metal jacket boat tail projectiles that provide excellent accuracy and reliable feeding in AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles.
What Makes This Different
Federal's American Eagle line uses the same quality control standards as their premium ammunition but focuses on value without sacrificing reliability. The 62-grain FMJ-BT design offers superior ballistic coefficient compared to standard 55-grain rounds, maintaining velocity and energy downrange. Each cartridge utilizes non-corrosive primers and consistent powder charges that deliver shot-to-shot uniformity essential for training and competition use.
Key Features
- 62-grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet for enhanced ballistic performance
- Non-corrosive Boxer primers ensure reliable ignition and easy reloading
- Reloadable brass cases manufactured to Federal's exacting specifications
- Consistent powder charges deliver uniform velocities across temperature ranges
- Compatible with 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO chamber specifications
- Quality control testing ensures reliable function in semi-automatic platforms

This ammunition excels in training scenarios where consistent point of impact matters more than terminal performance. The boat tail design maintains stability through transonic flight, making it suitable for precision shooting out to 300 yards. Range officers and competitive shooters appreciate the clean-burning powder that reduces fouling during extended shooting sessions.
