The cartridges found in every box of Remington R223R1 .223 Remington ammunition begin with a pointed soft point projectile. The Spitzer profile of the pointed soft point projectile is designed for improved velocities and flatter trajectories than its soft point counterpart. It is also noted for reliable expansion up to twice its original diameter. Additionally, the unique design of these cartridges allows them to retain up to 95 percent of their original weight.

As noted, each box of Remington R223R1 .223 Remington ammunition contains 20 non-corrosive, brass-cased cartridges. Each cartridge is loaded with a 55 gr pointed soft point projectile, which provides for both superior terminal ballistics and increased muzzle velocities. In fact, this particular load is capable of producing muzzle velocities that have been observed to travel at speed of up to 3,240 fps.
