The Remington UMC 223 Rem 45gr Jacketed Hollow Point delivers reliable terminal performance for varmint hunting and precision shooting applications. This lightweight bullet configuration maximizes velocity while maintaining consistent accuracy across various rifle platforms.
What Makes This Different
The 45-grain jacketed hollow point construction provides rapid expansion upon impact, making it exceptionally effective for varmint control and small game hunting. Unlike heavier 55-grain or 62-grain options, this lighter bullet achieves higher muzzle velocities, resulting in flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift at extended ranges. The UMC line represents Remington's value-oriented ammunition without compromising on quality control standards.
