Sig Sauer .223 Remington 60gr Elite Series Solid Copper Projectile Ammo Bullet Drop and Load Data
Product Overview
Sig Sauer's Elite Series 60gr solid copper load brings something unique to the .223 Remington lineup. This all-copper projectile defies conventional wisdom by combining lightweight construction with devastating terminal performance. At 3100 fps, it's pushing the envelope of what's possible with copper, delivering match-grade accuracy without the environmental concerns of traditional lead-core bullets.
In states with lead ammunition restrictions, this round transforms your .223 from limited to limitless. The solid copper construction penetrates deeply while creating four symmetrical petals that carve devastating wound channels. Whether you're managing wildlife populations or hunting deer in California's coastal ranges, you'll appreciate how this round maintains virtually 100% of its weight through thick muscle and bone. That consistent expansion and penetration mean fewer tracking jobs and cleaner kills.
Beyond the hunting fields, this load shines in any situation demanding premium performance. The lighter 60-grain weight, coupled with that blistering velocity, means you'll notice less wind drift and drop than heavier options. It's particularly effective in 1:8 twist barrels, where the copper construction's longer bearing surface ensures optimal stabilization. And unlike some copper loads that can be finicky about feeding, these rounds glide through magazines like they're greased. Consider it an investment in your rifle's full potential.
