The Winchester Super X 223 Rem 55gr Boat Tail Hollow Point delivers consistent terminal performance for varmint hunting and tactical applications. This factory ammunition combines Winchester's proven powder formulations with precision-manufactured hollow point bullets designed for rapid expansion and energy transfer.
What Makes This Different
The boat tail design reduces drag and maintains velocity downrange better than flat-base bullets, extending effective range by 15-20% compared to standard configurations. Winchester's Super X line uses carefully selected powders that produce consistent velocities with minimal temperature sensitivity. The 55-grain hollow point construction creates a balance between penetration and expansion that outperforms lighter varmint bullets in windy conditions.
Key Features
- 55-grain boat tail hollow point bullet for enhanced ballistic coefficient
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,240 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for consistent performance
- Rapid expansion hollow point design for varmint and predator hunting
- Non-corrosive primers and powders for extended storage life
- Compatible with all 223 Remington and 5.56 NATO chambered rifles
Field testing shows this ammunition maintains sub-2 MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles, making it suitable for precision varmint work out to 300 yards. The hollow point expansion characteristics work effectively on coyotes, prairie dogs, and similar-sized game. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the consistent feeding and ejection characteristics in semi-automatic platforms. The boat tail design maintains supersonic velocity longer than flat-base alternatives, reducing wind drift in crosswind conditions.
