These are great in both my Russian SKS and my Canadian Enfield No4Mk1*. Have found that Alliant 2400 (14 grs and 16 grs respectively) works great in both cartridges.
I’ve been reloading 147 and 158 grain for a long time for my subsonic loads but recently discovered I can make 115 grain subsonics that cycle in semi automatics. These do t drop as soon because they are much lighter,…
Loaded up my first batch of these 185 grn FN and really like them. They feed just fine in all my guns and have amazing accuracy, ragged holes at 7 & 15 yds. Only reloading note, I had to seat…
These .223/5.56 bullets are built for shooters who want dependable accuracy and reliable terminal performance. The full metal jacket construction lets this .224 diameter projectile handle higher chamber pressure while holding together in flight. With a ballistic coefficient of .249 for the 55-grain and .276 for the 62-grain, our bullets deliver strong muzzle velocity and hold a flatter trajectory at long distance than lighter options
The .224″ diameter fits your sized case correctly, and consistent bullet length gives you uniform seating depth every time. Whether you are developing a load for range sessions, competition, or ranch rifle duty, these 5.56 bullets perform in any twist barrel setup and deliver consistent performance shot after shot. Law enforcement professionals and dedicated shooters load Berry’s because we make an accurate, consistent projectile for demanding work.
The .223 Remington was developed in 1957 by Remington and Fairchild as part of a military project to build a small-caliber, high-velocity rifle cartridge. In 1963, the U.S. Army accepted it as the 5.56mm ball M193, and the following year the military adopted the AR-15 as the M16.
Early loads paired a 55-grain bullet with a slower twist barrel. By the 1980s, the military moved to a heavier 62-grain bullet with a steel penetrator, which needed a faster twist rate to stabilize, and 1:7 became the service standard. Both weights are still the two most common choices at the loading bench today.
The two cartridges share external dimensions but not chamber pressure. The 5.56 NATO chamber runs at higher pressure than the .223 Remington. A rifle chambered in 5.56 can safely fire .223 rounds, and NATO rounds stay within spec there, but firing 5.56 in a .223 chamber can cause pressure problems. Check your barrel markings before building a load.
Berry’s .223/5.56mm full metal jacket boat-tail bullets work across a wide range of shooting. Matching the right grain and bullet weight to your twist rate barrel gives you good stability in flight. These diameter projectiles handle higher-pressure NATO specifications while producing reliable results in both short-range and long-range platforms.
The boat tail design reduces drag and improves accuracy at extended distances, which makes these component bullets a solid pick for precision work. Barrel length plays a part too, since a longer inch barrel builds more velocity than a short carbine with the same load. Loaded in 5.56 NATO ammo or .223 Remington brass, they hold steady chamber pressure and deliver consistent results in any rifle. The full metal jacket handles the higher velocities needed for flat shooting without coming apart.
These 55gr and 62gr bullets stay popular across a range of shooting:
Each bullet begins with a precisely cut segment of lead. We swage the core under high pressure into a uniform shape, which sets a stable foundation for the jacket and holds consistent weight across every lot produced.
A copper jacket is drawn and formed around the swaged core. This creates a strong outer shell that adds projectile strength and reduces barrel fouling when loaded with smokeless powder.
The jacket is shaped to fully encase the core, producing the classic full metal jacket boat tail profile. This design lowers drag and improves stability, which helps most in a bolt gun and other precision work.
Before packaging, every bullet is inspected for weight, dimensions, and jacket integrity. The result is a consistent, reliable projectile for any bullet selection in your reloading.
