Liberty Ammunition Civil Defense .223 Remington 55 grain Fragmenting Hollow Point Centerfire Rifle Ammunition
One shot, dropped 120# feral pig at 25 yards. Very accurate shot placement , head shot, using a 2 moa red dot in the dark swamp on public land. A few stray frags found their way to the opposite side, front shoulder but did not cause any significant damage to the shoulder. I am not sure if this type ammo is recommended for hunting purposes or if it is non toxic and safe to eat meat that has been embedded with stray fragments. I am happy with the power, accuracy and the way the rounds cycled, ready for a second follow up shot if required.

I've always liked Liberty Civil Defense as carry ammo (both 9mm and .45 acp), and I bought this .223 ammo just to try out in my AR. I'd just installed a reflex sight & magnifier combo, and I wanted to zero it using higher-quality defensive ammo.
I was impressed by how fast and flat-shooting this ammo is. I've only shot it at paper targets, so I don't have any scientific "ballistic data", but I expect it would be quite suitable as a self-defense round, or as a small game/varmint round.
I think a slightly heavier grain weight would make it even more efficient, but it works quite well as-is.
Pros:
Price
Quality
accuracy
Cons:
grain weight could be heavier
Best Used for:
Self / home defense
varmint hunting/control
Would recommend: Yes
