The Federal Cartridge Company, headquartered in Anoka, Minnesota, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliant Techsystems. The company was founded in 1916 and has since become one of the finest names in the ammunition industry. Today, the company manufactures a complete line of rimfire ammunition, centerfire ammunition and shotshells – they even have a production contract with the United States Military. Federal ammunition has been used during multiple Olympic Games in which the U.S. team brought home gold, silver and bronze medals.
Federal AEBP223B .223 ammunition is a product from the American Eagle line of ammunition. American Eagle ammunition is marketed as precision practice ammunition, and though it is inexpensive, it offers an uncanny accuracy on par with the more expensive brands. Like all Federal ammunition, Federal AEBP223B .223 ammunition is manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP) in Independence, Missouri, which is an interesting aspect of the ammunition in itself. LCAAP is a government-owned, contractor-operated munitions facility that was originally established in 1941 for the manufacture and testing of small arms ammunition for the United States Army. Since 2001, it has been operated by Alliant Techsystems and is the largest manufacturer of small arms ammunition for the U.S. Army.
That said each case of Federal AEBP223B .223 ammunition contains, as noted, two boxes of 200 non-corrosive, brass-cased cartridges for a total of 400 rounds. Each cartridge contains a 55 gr full metal jacket bullet, which provides for increased muzzle velocities. These cartridges have been observed to travel at speeds in excess of 3,200 fps. Additionally, all Federal ammunition is manufactured using fully-reloadable, newly-manufactured brass cases as well as non-corrosive Boxer primers. All cartridges are visually inspected prior to leaving the manufacturing plant.
If you thought our Federal value packs of .223 ammunition were great before, then it is time to think again. This double-sized case of Federal AEBP223B .223 ammunition provides twice the amount of ammunition as a traditional Federal value pack and double the amount of fun. Consider this .223 Remington ammunition for:
- Target shooting
- Recreational shooting
- Reloading
- Much more…
