Brown Bear Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) 55 Grain 223 Remington Ammo - 20 Rounds

.223 Remington remains a popular choice for target shooting, hunting and civil defense thanks largely to its economy of cost of materials making it popular for reloading as well as for stockpiling. Added to that a surplus market of military manufacturing and there are always deals to be had.

Brown Bear is made at the Russian arsenal plant of Barnaul to the same military standards the Russians expect of their own ammunition. The 55 grain, full metal jacket bullet exits the muzzle at approximately 3240 feet per second with 1282 foot pounds of energy. This is a cartridge made specifically for target shooting and range training in military style firearms chambered in either 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington.

Brown Bear ammunition is manufactured in the Russian arsenal at Barnaul. Initially founded near Saint Petersburg, the factory was forced to move to its present location in World War II during the siege of Leningrad. Today they provide a commercial line of ammunition to the same standards of the Russian military: Brown Bear is coated with a lacquer to protect it in storage, making this a great round for stockpiling for any “end of the world” scenario.
