.223/5.56mm Brass

Description

The 5.56mm also known as the .223 Remington cartridge is by far one of the most popular rifle casings. It was originally designed for hunting purposes and later was adapted by the military with certain upgraded features to create the 5.56 NATO round. You will often see and hear many shooters talk about the 223  and 5.56mm NATO brass interchangeably. The differences are subtle and if you are shooting at the range, there really is no difference. However, this won’t stop shooters from spending hours debating this.

We just want you to know you are getting top quality casings no matter whether you are looking to shoot 223 or 5.56mm.

Why Is 223 Brass So Popular?

One reason that the 223 brass is so popular is that is works with many rifles; bolt-action, semi-auto, and single shot. It used to be that you could easily and readily get 223 brass, but with the increase in gun ownership over the past few years, it has become harder and more expensive to buy factory new rounds. That is why 223 brass has become consistently one of our best selling casings. It is also evident in our collections that there are lots of shooters at the ranges shooting these rounds.

It also has been made extremely popular because it is one of the preferred cartridge used in many rifle matches including the National Championship competitions at Camp Perry Ohio.

Who Uses 223 Brass?

As we mentioned above there are many shooters who like to use 223 Brass, there are the range shooters, hunters, people interested in self-defense, the police, and the military uses the 5.56mm NATO rounds. By buying the casings and reloading the cartridges yourself, you get to control the weight of the round. This is important because by adjusting the weight the bullet will perform as you want it to for different situations such as hunting. For bigger game, you want to have a heavier bullet.
