Developed in 1957 the rimless, bottlenecked .223 Remington has become one of the more well-liked centerfired rounds in the US and can be used in a wide variety of semi-auto and manual action rifles. Shell Tech's 5.56 NATO Ammo is excellent for any shooter and is a great value.![]()
The 5.56 x45mm NATO round was developed from the .223 Remington round. While similar in appearance, there are some differences between Remington .223 and 5.56 x45mm cartridges, the primary being that 5.56 x45mm NATO is loaded at a higher pressure than .223 rounds. While 5.56 chambers are designed for the higher pressure, many .223 rounds are not, and therefore, it is not advisable to use 5.56 x45 rounds in .223 rifles.
Designed for hunting, sharpshooting, and target shooting, the 5.56 is fun to shoot and offers very little recoil. Shell Tech's 5.56mm /.223 cartridges offer exceptional value at a great price. OpticsPlanet is pleased to offer this fine product as well as more great Rifle Ammo from Shell Tech.
