.223 Remington with the 3,2 gram / 50 grain Lapua Naturalis hunting bullet

.223 Remington, one of the most popular cartridges, is now available with the 3,2 g / 50 gr Lapua Naturalis hunting bullet. This is the perfect cartridge choice for anyone looking for performance without wasting any meat.

The .223 Rem started out as a varmint round in the 1950ies but it has come a long way since then to become a viable choice for small game and even small deer hunting. Today, we are proud to introduce one of the most modern and innovative .223 Rem cartridges for this purpose with our .224 Naturalis projectile. It has everything a demanding small game hunter needs, superb accuracy and top-of-the-class terminal ballistic performance. As with all our Naturalis projectiles, it comes with our new AirLock technology, securing that the cartridge performance is secure from dust and outside moisture changes.

The technology of the Naturalis bullet allows for a perfect mushrooming effect, expanding the bullet diameter up to double the original, creating an adequate wound channel. With exceptional performance and amazing penetration capabilities up to 100 % of retention weight, this factory-loaded cartridge is a must-have for any .223 Rem enthusiast wanting to make fond new hunting memories.
