Whether youre running long prairie strings, sitting a ground blind, or dialing in a varmint bench load, this Hornady round responds with tight groups and predictable terminal effects that seasoned hunters and range pros trust; made in the United States, the cartridge balances high velocity with manageable recoil and cycles cleanly, making it a solid choice for hunters, ranchers, and pest control operators who demand high-performance 223 Rem ammunition with the NTX terminal design.
