How Do You Select the Right Rifle Ammo?

If you’re looking to get a new rifle, it’s important you select the right caliber and ammo for your needs. Western plains hunters should check out our 7mm Remington Magnum ammo that offers manageable recoil and flat shooting. If you need bullets built to take down plains game at long ranges, .270 Winchester ammo is ideal for you. Alternatively, .308 Winchester ammo is one of the most popular choices for short-action, big-game hunters, but this ammo is also an excellent choice for self-defense due to its hard-hitting terminal performance. Looking for versatility? Our collection of .243 rifle ammunition provides the accuracy and low recoil you need to precisely take down targets at the range or pesky varmints in the backyard. However, upgrading to a heavier bullet weight is recommended for hunting larger game.

What Is the Most Popular Rifle Ammo in the United States?

Without a doubt, the most common and popular rifle ammunition in the united states is .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO. Even though these are technically two different rounds, they are essentially the same caliber. They are extremely popular because AR15’s are prevalent and common.

What Is the Difference Between .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO?

Even though these rifle rounds are essentially the same caliber, they aren’t always interchangeable. .223 Remington is the civilian version of the round, while 5.56x45mm NATO is the military version. 5.56 NATO is loaded to a higher pressure than .223, which means it needs a more robust barrel. This means you should generally avoid shooting 5.56 NATO out of your .223 AR 15. However, if your AR 15 is chambered in “.223 WYLDE,” this means it is rated to handle both .223 and 5.56.
