Description
Federal .223 Remington 55GR FMJ 420 Round Ammo Can Rifle Ammunition (Full Metal Jacket Boat Tail) ammunition is built for reliable performance and consistent accuracy. The 55-grain FMJBT projectile features a durable jacket that resists deformation, reduces barrel fouling, and ensures dependable penetration. The boat tail design improves ballistic efficiency, delivering a flatter trajectory and enhanced stability at longer ranges—ideal for target shooting and training.
Loaded by Federal using high-quality primers, clean-burning propellant, and reloadable brass casings, this ammo offers smooth, reliable cycling in semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15 platform.
Packaged in a rugged 420-round steel ammo can, this bulk .223 ammo is perfect for storage or transport. Whether you treat the can gently or toss it in your truck bed, it’s tough enough to protect your rounds and keep them dry for years to come.
⚠️ Ammunition Shipping Restrictions by State ⚠️
Most U.S. states currently allow legal shipment of ammunition directly to a buyer’s residential address (“front door”) with no special requirements beyond federal age restrictions:
-
18+ for rifle/shotgun ammunition
-
21+ for handgun ammunition
However, some states and jurisdictions restrict or prohibit direct shipment to the customer. Please review the details below before placing a bid.
🚫 States & Jurisdictions with Restrictions
| State/Jurisdiction | Restriction Details |
|---|---|
| California | 🔴 Direct-to-door ammo shipments are currently NOT permitted. Although the Ninth Circuit ruled on July 24, 2025 in Rhode v. Bonta that California’s ammunition background check law is unconstitutional and affirmed the permanent injunction, the ruling is not yet in effect. Procedural steps—such as issuing a mandate—are still pending. Until those steps are completed, California’s background check requirements remain in effect and must be followed. ✅ We can still ship your ammunition to a licensed FFL in California for pickup. Once the injunction becomes final, we will adjust accordingly. |
| Illinois | Must provide a valid FOID card and state-issued ID. |
| Connecticut | Must provide a state-issued ammunition certificate or permit. |
| Massachusetts | Requires a firearms ID. |
| New Jersey | Ammo must be shipped to a licensed FFL. FOID and state ID required. |
| New York | Ammo must be shipped to a licensed FFL (gun store, etc.) — not to a private residence, per the NY SAFE Act. |
| Maryland | No ammunition sales to Annapolis. |
| Rhode Island | Must provide a valid license and pistol/revolver safety certificate. Must be 21+ for handgun ammo. |
| Washington, D.C. | No ammunition sales allowed. |
| Alaska & Hawaii | Most carriers do not offer direct shipping due to lack of ground service. |
| City of Chicago | Ammo shipment prohibited. |
