223 Rem - 64 Grain Defense Tip - Winchester Silvertip - 20 Rounds

When you’re talking about a cartridge as powerful as the 223 Rem, pretty much any ammunition is capable of personal protection. But wouldn’t you really rather have something in your magazine that’s specifically built for self-defense when your life is on the line? Winchester’s Silvertip ammo is exactly what you want for home defense. This 223 load’s Defense Tip projectile has a massive polymer tip. So big a tip has a wide diameter base, which promotes rapid pace terminal expansion beginning at the instant of impact. Such fast expansion translates to the immense knockdown power you need to neutralize a threat. The Defense Tip has two other key performance enhancing features. Its alloyed lead core is unusually tough, which helps it to penetrate deeply and expand at the optimal rate within soft tissue. Its jacket’s nickel-plated exterior at once resists corrosion and supports more reliable functionality in semi-automatic firearms. This round’s bullet weighs 64 grains instead of 55. That extra mass also gives the bullet an advantage when it comes to deep penetration. You’ll get the best accuracy if your rifle has a 1:8 twist barrel, but a 1:7 or 1:9 twist will also deliver sufficient accuracy for self-defense applications. Brass-cased, Boxer-primed, non-corrosive, nonmagnetic and American-made!

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
