Rifles Descriptions

223 Rem - 55 Grain BlitzKing - HSM Varmint - 20 Rounds

When you order this 223 Rem varmint hunting ammunition, you’re getting two leading American manufacturers’ best work. Sierra’s BlitzKing bullet couples the accuracy and terminal performance you need to rid the world of varmints and predators, and HSM loads it to tight specs for surefire functionality. This round’s 55 grain bullet features a proprietary acetyl resin compound tip. Its sharp green nose streamlines the bullet to follow a flat trajectory, which alongside its thin, concentric copper alloy jacket promotes the accuracy you’d need to trim a coyote’s nails at a thousand paces. On impact the BlitzKing’s tip drives into its alloyed lead core, commencing explosive fragmentation that’ll put any varmint’s future plans in serious jeopardy. Based in Montana, HSM specializes in turning high quality components into high quality cartridges. Each round in this box offers a premium brass case for optimal feeding and extraction in a rifle, a sensitive and non-corrosive primer, and clean burning propellant that’ll keep your shots tight throughout the course of a hunt. This ammo is a fine choice for AR-15 rifles chambered for 5.56, and it could also hold its own in a tactical situation.

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
