The Remington UMC Leadless 223 Remington ammunition delivers consistent performance while eliminating lead exposure concerns for indoor range training and high-volume shooting. This 55-grain leadless projectile maintains the ballistic characteristics shooters expect from quality 223 ammunition while providing cleaner shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, this leadless design uses a compressed metal powder core that fragments predictably upon impact. The absence of lead makes it compliant with indoor ranges that restrict lead ammunition and reduces airborne particulates during shooting sessions. Velocity remains consistent with standard 55-grain loads at approximately 3,240 fps from a 24-inch barrel.
Key Features
- Leadless 55-grain projectile eliminates lead exposure concerns
- Compressed metal powder core provides controlled fragmentation
- Boxer-primed brass cases enable reloading for cost savings
- Indoor range compliant where lead restrictions apply
- Standard 223 Remington chambering fits all 223/5.56 firearms
- Factory-fresh brass cases with consistent powder charges
- 20-round boxes packed 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
Range performance matches traditional 55-grain FMJ loads with similar point of impact out to 200 yards. The leadless construction makes extended training sessions more comfortable by reducing lead particulate inhalation. Accuracy typically runs 2-3 MOA from quality bolt-action rifles, making it suitable for precision practice and general marksmanship training.
