Federal .223 Remington 50gr Varmint & Predator JHP Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Federal's 50-grain .223 Remington JHP redefines speed in varmint elimination. This lightweight rocket screams downrange at 3325 fps – fast enough to practically eliminate holdover out to 200 yards. That blistering velocity, combined with the precision hollow point design, creates an absolutely devastating combination for small game and predators. You won't find many rounds that cut through prairie wind like this one.
Picture a prairie dog colony at 150 yards. That speedy 50-grain bullet reaches its target in the blink of an eye, transferring all 1227 ft-lbs of energy into devastating terminal performance. The jacketed hollow point doesn't just expand – it virtually vaporizes on impact. This instant energy transfer prevents over-penetration and reduces the risk of ricochets, making it ideal for shooting in areas with livestock or near structures.
For ranchers and farmers battling costly varmint problems, this load turns your .223 into a precision pest control tool. The flat trajectory means less time calculating holdovers and more time protecting your property. Whether you're clearing rock chucks from hay fields or defending chicken coops from foxes, this round delivers instant results without the overkill of heavier bullets. Load up a magazine, and watch those destructive pests disappear – along with your varmint problems.
