Everyone dreams of going on safari, or bagging a mighty half-ton elk. Unfortunately, such dreams are outside many hunters’ means.

That’s why we’re grateful to small game. They’re all over the place, and they’re also huntable without the aid of big expensive rifle cartridges.

If you want to do a tour through nearby varmint country with your AR-15, then we’ve got just the accessibly priced .223 Rem hunting ammo you’re after. Remington loads these UMC series cartridges with 45 grain jacketed hollow points: simple, lightweight, lead-core JHPs that streak across flat trajectories and deliver death-dealing expansion on small game.

This ammunition is loaded in Arkansas with new, reloadable brass cases and otherwise good components. If your barrel’s 24” long (i.e. the same length Remington used to record this round’s advertised muzzle velocity and .173 G1 ballistic coefficient), then you can reasonably anticipate this sort of trajectory: 0yds: -1.5” → 100yds: 1.3” → 200yds: 0.0” → 300yds: -7.2” → 400yds: -23.7” → 500yds: -54.6”.
