The PMC Bronze .223 Remington 55 gr FMJ-BT is a centerfire rifle load intended for training, practice, and general target shooting in .223 Remington rifles. It uses a full metal jacket boat-tail (FMJ-BT) bullet profile that favors stable flight and consistent feeding in common semi-automatic and bolt-action platforms.
