223 Rem – 55 Grain Jacketed Frangible – Remington Disintegrator Lead Free – 500 Rounds

Remington Disintegrator Lead Free: You could pick few better 223 Rem cartridges for training indoors – especially if your targets happen to be of the steel variety. An even better choice if your steel targets are up close!

This round is indeed devoid of lead. Its non-corrosive primer also lacks barium or antimony, so it won’t create a little puff of toxic smoke upon ignition that’ll make its way into your sensitive pink lungs. Its bullet is also lead-free, so the fiery fury of ignition won’t evaporate anything toxic inside of it.

More interesting than that, this round sports a jacketed frangible bullet. The jacket serves to fortify the bullet for feeding in a semi-auto without breaking, and the core is made of compressed metal powder that will literally disintegrate the moment it collides with a hard steel surface. That virtually eliminates the chance of splash-back or an unfortunate ricochet from harming you or the other shooters on the line, and additionally makes the bullet less capable of penetrating several layers of drywall. Much safer!

This round’s primer and propellant are paired up to deliver a 3,240 fps muzzle velocity (out of a 24” barrel). And with its 55 grain bullet, that makes this round’s ballistic performance nearly identical to the Army’s M193 ball round. Topped off with a new production reloadable brass case, and you’ve got a fine solution for range training and home defense.
