No matter how well they’re made, every cartridge shares the same crucial flaw: They all run out eventually. The simplest remedy to this common problem is to simply buy cartridges in bulk. Nothing is more reassuring than receiving a giant, heavy box of brass and lead at your doorstep — it means the cartridges won’t run out again for quite some time.

This 223 Rem cartridge by Union Metallic Cartridge Company sports a 55 grain metal case projectile. This type of bullet is commonly available in bulk, and is in essence a full metal jacket with its lead core enveloped by a thin layer of copper. As such, this round will give your rifle some relief against the rapid accumulation of lead residue in its bore. The metal case is an economical choice of projectile as well, which creates savings that 1,000 rounds reflect soundly.
