Federal Tactical TRU is law enforcement ammunition – although you may just find that this 223 Rem serves you better for varmint and coyote hunting. That’s because it’s loaded with the Sierra GameKing: a boat tail hollow point designed to remain accurate over much farther distances than a self-defense scenario will realistically play out over.

The BTHP’s balanced weight distribution and low-drag geometry give it a rather high G1 BC in light of its 55 grain weight: .250 (assuming it hits its advertised muzzle velocity, which Federal recorded using a 24” barrel). The BTHP carries 745 ft lbs energy to 200 yards. With 1.5” sight height, it then drops -7.2” at 300, -22.0” at 400, and -47.6” at 500 yards.

If the BTHP hits heavy clothing and then ballistic gelatin after having flown just 10’, it is predicted to penetrate 11”, retain around 43% of its weight, and expand to a diameter of nearly .39”. Other bullets may offer better terminal ballistics for self-defense, but a well-placed BTHP can still neutralize any threat in an instant.

This ammo is produced in the great state of Minnesota with all of Federal’s highest-quality components, including sensitive Boxer primers and reloadable brass shells.
