The Sellier & Bellot 223 Rem 55gr FMJ 100 Bulk Pack (Model V341872) is a centre-fire rifle cartridge engineered for volume range practice, tactical drills, and target training. Manufactured in the Czech Republic, each cartridge features a non-expanding 55-grain (3.60-gram) Full Metal Jacket projectile with a lead core and CuZn 10 tombac jacket. Loaded into reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers, this ammunition delivers clean ignition and consistent feeding across bolt-action, straight-pull, and pump rifles chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56×45mm NATO.

Who is the Sellier & Bellot 223 Rem 55gr FMJ Bulk Pack for?

• High-volume target shooters and benchrest plinkers — requires cost-effective .223 Remington target ammunition supplied in a 100-round format, utilising a 55-grain projectile that generates 1,822 Joules of muzzle energy for consistent 0 to 300-metre steel and paper target shooting.
• IPSC and rifle competition participants — relies on consistent 1,006 m/s muzzle velocity and Boxer-primed brass cases for rapid, uniform cycling across multi-stage rifle matches.

Less suitable for: Ethical hunting of medium game (such as deer or pigs) where non-expanding FMJ bullets lack controlled expansion—substitute expanding soft-point (SP) or ballistic-tip hunting ammunition—or precision long-range shooting beyond 400 metres where heavier 69-grain to 77-grain match projectiles provide superior wind resistance.
