223 Rem - 62 Grain FMJ - Hornady BLACK - 20 Rounds

These .223 Remington rounds from Hornady are an excellent supplement to your blasting schedule and can also help put the perfect zero on your brand new optic! As BLACK brand rounds, every component is specially tuned for proper function in America's favorite bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles whether fired from a bare muzzle or suppressed (though these rounds are supersonic). These ingredients include clean-igniting Boxer primers, reloadable brass casings, and wholly consumptive powder that leaves behind very little residue. Each cartridge is topped with full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet that bears an accuracy-saving cannelure at its crimp diameter. A projectile weight of 62 grains was chosen to match some of the most popular hunting ammunition in .223 Remington as well as the 5.56mm NATO M855 cartridge. In effect, shooters can expect a flight trajectory and recoil impulse that is consistent with many practice loads and matches several scope reticles and bullet-drop tables. Hornady crafts this ammunition using nearly 70 years of experience in bullet design and component assembly. The BLACK brand is intended to provide American shooters with an easily recognizable box and logo that expresses dependable operation and diehard performance.

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
