The Hornady Custom 223 Rem 55gr Spire Point delivers consistent accuracy and reliable performance for varmint hunting and target shooting. This premium ammunition features Hornady's traditional spire point bullet design optimized for flat trajectory and controlled expansion at moderate velocities.
What Makes This Different
Hornady Custom ammunition uses hand-selected components and match-grade attention to detail that separates it from bulk ammunition. Each cartridge receives individual quality control inspection, ensuring consistent powder charges and precise bullet seating. The 55-grain spire point bullet maintains velocity better than round nose designs while providing predictable terminal performance on small to medium game.
Key Features
- 55-grain spire point bullet optimized for flat trajectory and accuracy
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Hand-selected powder charges for velocity consistency shot-to-shot
- Individual cartridge inspection ensures quality control standards
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading applications

The 55-grain spire point configuration balances penetration with expansion, making it effective for varmint control and small game hunting. Range shooters appreciate the consistent velocities that translate to predictable point of impact at various distances. The moderate bullet weight performs well in standard 1:9 twist barrels found in most AR-15 rifles and bolt-action varmint guns.
