Frequently Asked Questions
.223 Ammo - 500 Rounds

How much do 500 rounds of 556 cost?

Five hundred rounds of 5.56 typically cost between $248 and $275. Price varies by brand, bullet weight, and retailer. Bulk purchases and steel-cased ammunition tend to be cheaper, while premium brass-cased loads cost more.

What is the drop of a 223 at 500 yards?

Standard 55-grain .223 ammunition drops roughly 45 to 72 inches or more at 500 yards when zeroed at 100 yards. Heavier bullets and higher velocities reduce drop slightly. For precise figures, consult a ballistics calculator using your specific load, muzzle velocity, and barrel length.

Is a 223 capable of killing a deer?

Yes, .223 can kill deer with proper bullet selection and accurate shot placement. Heavier bullets like 75-grain perform better than lighter loads. Aim for the vitals. Many hunters take deer successfully with .223, though it sits at the lower end of adequate power, and some states prohibit it for deer.

What shoots faster, 223 or 556?

5.56 NATO operates at higher chamber pressure than .223 Remington, but which round travels faster is disputed — sources disagree, and any velocity difference is small. Both rounds can be fired in a 5.56 chambered rifle, but .223 chambers should not fire 5.56 ammunition because the higher pressure can be dangerous.

Why can't you shoot a 556 in a 223?

You can shoot .223 in a 5.56 NATO chamber safely, but not the reverse. 5.56 NATO ammunition runs at higher pressures than .223 Remington chambers are designed to handle. Firing 5.56 in a .223 rifle risks dangerous overpressure that can damage the firearm or injure the shooter.

What is the shelf life of 223 ammo?

Properly stored .223 ammunition lasts 10–50+ years. Manufacturers conservatively recommend use within ten years, but sealed primers resist moisture effectively. Storage conditions matter most—keep rounds cool, dry, and away from temperature swings. Poor conditions can degrade ammunition within a few years.

Does Walmart sell 223 or 556?

Walmart stopped selling .223 and 5.56 ammunition in 2019, when the company discontinued all short-barrel rifle ammunition sales. You'll need to buy these calibers from other retailers such as gun shops, sporting goods stores, or online ammunition dealers.
