Fiocchi Field Dynamics 223 Remington 50 grain ammunition pairs Fiocchi manufacturing with Hornady’s proven V-Max polymer tip projectile. Loaded to 3300 feet per second, this round delivers controlled expansion on contact — engineered for varmint and predator hunting where rapid energy transfer matters. The 50 grain bullet weight keeps sectional density low at 0.142, which translates to explosive terminal performance on thin-skinned game.
Built for the Box
Each round uses brass cases with boxer primers — both non-corrosive and reloadable. Fiocchi loads this ammunition at their Ozark, Missouri facility to SAAMI specifications. The polymer tip initiates expansion at impact velocities, while the gilded metal jacket fragments predictably. Ballistic coefficient sits at 0.242 G1, maintaining supersonic velocity through 300 yards when zeroed at typical varmint distances.

Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Observe the four rules of firearms safety at all times: treat every firearm as loaded, never point at anything you do not intend to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and be certain of your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify that your rifle’s chamber is marked 223 Remington or 5.56 NATO before loading. Do not chamber 5.56 NATO ammunition in rifles marked 223 Remington only.
- This ammunition contains lead. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. California Proposition 65 requires disclosure: this product can expose you to lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. More at www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
