Frequently Asked Questions
Armscor .223 Ammo for Sale
Is Armscor 223 ammo any good?
Armscor .223 ammo is a budget option for range shooting, but user reviews note reliability concerns — thick primers can cause ignition failures in some firearms. It is not notably clean, with cleaner options available on the market. Pricing typically runs $9.50–$13.97 per box depending on the variant and retailer.
Are Rock Island and Armscor the same?
Rock Island Armory is the US brand name for firearms manufactured by Armscor, a Philippine company. Armscor acquired the Rock Island Armory name in the 1980s. The guns are the same; the different names reflect the company's domestic Philippine market versus its US export market.
What country is Armscor from?
Armscor is from the Philippines. Founded in 1905 as Squires, Bingham & Co., it is the oldest and largest arms and ammunition manufacturer in the country, distributing firearms and ammunition worldwide.
Is 55-grain or 62-grain 223 better?
Choice depends on your rifle's barrel twist rate. A 1:12 twist favors 55-grain for speed and flatter trajectory; 1:7 or 1:8 twist stabilizes 62-grain better. For range use, 55-grain is cheaper and faster, while 62-grain offers better penetration. Check your barrel specs first.
