More Information on Hornady .223 Remington Ammo
Hornady Frontier .223 Remington 55 Grain Match Jacketed Hollow Point (FR1415) is a centerfire rifle cartridge manufactured as part of Hornady’s Frontier line, a series developed to provide dependable, American-made ammunition for training, target shooting, and general range use. Chambered in .223 Remington and packaged in a bulk 150-round box, this load offers shooters a convenient quantity for extended practice sessions while maintaining the quality standards associated with Hornady’s ammunition production. The FR1415 load is intended for rifles chambered specifically for .223 Remington as well as firearms marked for 5.56 NATO that are compatible with .223 Remington ammunition.
This cartridge is loaded with a 55-grain Match Jacketed Hollow Point (HPM) bullet. Unlike Hornady’s BTHP (Boat Tail Hollow Point) projectiles, the 55-grain HPM used in FR1415 is designated simply as a Hollow Point Match bullet. The small opening at the nose is a byproduct of the bullet’s manufacturing process and is intended to promote uniform weight distribution and consistent flight characteristics rather than serving the same purpose as a conventional expanding hunting bullet. Hornady identifies this load specifically as part of its Match ammunition offerings, emphasizing precision-oriented projectile construction.
The .223 Remington cartridge has long been valued for its relatively mild recoil, flat trajectory, and broad compatibility with modern sporting rifles and bolt-action platforms. Those characteristics allow shooters to spend more time on the range with reduced fatigue while maintaining consistent shot placement during extended shooting sessions. The 55-grain bullet weight also represents one of the most widely used projectile weights in the caliber, making it a common choice for general target shooting and rifle familiarization.
Hornady manufactures the Frontier line using reloadable brass cases, Boxer primers, and carefully metered propellant charges designed to produce reliable ignition and consistent performance. The company’s quality-control standards focus on maintaining uniform cartridge dimensions and dependable feeding across a wide variety of modern rifle platforms. These manufacturing practices help promote reliable cycling in semi-automatic rifles while also supporting consistent accuracy in bolt-action firearms.
The 150-round bulk box offers practical advantages for shooters who prefer purchasing ammunition in larger quantities. It reduces the need for multiple smaller boxes during longer range sessions and provides a convenient option for regular practice or organized shooting events. Bulk packaging is also useful for shooters who maintain a supply of ammunition for ongoing training while minimizing excess packaging.
Hornady’s Frontier product line includes a variety of .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO loads with different bullet styles and weights. The FR1415 specifically combines the .223 Remington chambering with a 55-grain Hollow Point Match projectile and 150-round packaging, making it distinct from the company’s FMJ and heavier BTHP Match offerings. For shooters seeking a bulk-packaged .223 Remington load built around a match-style bullet, the FR1415 provides a straightforward combination of Hornady manufacturing, reloadable brass cases, and a commonly used 55-grain match projectile.
