The Norma Vermin Xtreme Tipped .223 Remington 55gr ammunition is engineered for short-to-medium-range pest eradication and predator management. Loaded in bulk 900-round ammo cans, this centerfire varmint ammunition combines a 55-grain polymer-tipped soft point projectile with premium reloadable Swedish brass cases to deliver explosive fragmentation, flat trajectories, and minimal risk of over-penetration on target.

Key Features

• High-Velocity Fragmenting Projectile: Polymer tip initiates rapid expansion and fragmentation upon impact, producing 1,729 Joules (1,262 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy.
• Flat Ballistic Trajectory: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.245 with a muzzle velocity of 980 m/s (3,215 fps) and a recommended zero distance of 186 metres.
• Reliable Cycling: Uniform bullet profile ensures consistent feeding in semi-automatic platforms, straight-pull systems, and standard turn-bolt rifles.
• Premium Reloadable Brass: Loaded with Boxer-primed, match-grade Norma brass cases manufactured in Sweden for consistent case volume and extended reloadability.
• Bulk Field Storage: Supplied in a dedicated 900-round metal ammo can for high-volume shooting operations and protected vehicle transport.

Who is the Norma Vermin Xtreme Tipped 223 Rem 55gr Ammo Can for?

• Agricultural pest controllers targeting foxes and feral cats — Delivers a high muzzle velocity of 3,215 fps using a 55-grain polymer-tipped bullet that produces violent, immediate fragmentation to dispatch small predators humanely without exit-wound over-penetration.
• Professional wild dog and rabbit management shooters — Supplies a bulk quantity of 900 rounds of centerfire varmint ammunition with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.245, providing flat-shooting performance and consistency across extended high-volume culling operations.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting beyond 300 metres where velocity drops below 2,115 fps (where heavier 69-grain to 77-grain match projectile loads retain velocity more effectively), or hunting medium-to-large game like deer and large feral pigs which require controlled-expansion, deep-penetrating bonded hunting bullets.
