When you're running through high volumes of centrefire rounds for pest control or range sessions, consistency and reliability matter as much as performance. The Hornady .223 REM 55gr SP Ammo - 500 Round Slab delivers exactly that, packaged in a convenient 500-round slab that's built for shooters who don't want to be restocking every other weekend. Hornady's Custom ammunition line is loaded to exacting standards, with every round hand inspected before it leaves the factory, ensuring the kind of uniformity that makes a real difference downrange. Built around a 55gr Jacketed Soft Point bullet and launched at a muzzle velocity of 3,240fps (987m/s) with 1,282ft-lbs (1,738J) of muzzle energy, this is a well-balanced .223 load suited to everything from varmint and pest work to paper punching at the range.

Hornady .223 REM 55gr SP Ammo - 500 Round Slab Key Features

• Bullet Type - Jacketed Soft Point (SP): The SP design provides controlled expansion on impact while retaining good weight, balancing penetration and terminal performance. This makes it a practical choice for varmint hunting and pest control where clean, ethical results matter.
• Bullet Weight - 55gr: A well-established weight for the .223 REM cartridge, offering a good balance between flat trajectory and downrange energy. Muzzle velocity is 3,240fps (987m/s) with 1,282ft-lbs (1,738J) of muzzle energy.
• Ballistic Coefficient (G1) - 0.235: The BC of 0.235 gives a practical indication of how well this bullet resists wind drift and velocity loss in flight, relevant when shooting at extended distances in variable conditions.
• Sectional Density - 0.157: A sectional density of 0.157 reflects the bullet's ability to penetrate relative to its calibre, supporting reliable performance on varmints and pests at typical hunting ranges.
• Temperature Stable Powder with Flash Suppressant: The propellant charge is designed to perform consistently across a range of ambient temperatures, an important consideration for Australian conditions where temperatures can swing dramatically between early morning and midday hunts.
• Brass Case, Boxer Primed: Brass cases with Boxer-type primers are reloadable, making this a smart buy for handloaders who want to extend the value of their brass after the first firing.
• Non-Corrosive: Non-corrosive primer and powder formulation protects your barrel and action, reducing maintenance burden after high-volume sessions.
• Hand Inspected Quality Control: Every round is individually inspected before packaging, ensuring dimensional consistency and reliable ignition across all 500 rounds in the slab.
• 500-Round Slab: Bulk packaging reduces the cost-per-round and means less time ordering and more time shooting. Well suited to pest control programs and regular range training.
• Made in USA: Manufactured by Hornady in Grand Island, Nebraska, to their Custom-grade production standards.

Whether you're keeping fox and rabbit numbers down on the property or putting serious round counts through your .223 at the range, the Hornady 55gr SP in a 500-round slab is a dependable, no-fuss option that delivers consistent performance and the added bonus of reloadable brass when you're done.
