Description
The Nosler Trophy Grade 223 Remington with 70-grain AccuBond gives you a serious hunting round in one of the most versatile calibers available. This load puts together everything that matters: consistent accuracy, reliable expansion, and the kind of quality control that separates factory ammunition from the rest.
What Makes the AccuBond Design Work
At the heart of this load is the AccuBond bullet. The white polymer tip ensures smooth feeding while promoting consistent velocity down the barrel. The boat-tail design in the back of the bullet creates a wider, more devastating mushroom upon impact while the bonded core holds together for deep, straight-line penetration. You get expansion that doesn't blow apart and penetration that reaches where it needs to go.
Nosler Trophy Grade Quality Control
Nosler doesn't just load ammo and call it done. Every Trophy Grade round gets hand inspection and packaging to Nosler's strict tolerances. The brass is Nosler Custom grade, which means cases are checked for correct length, necks are sized and trued, and flash holes are inspected for proper alignment. Powder charges are individually weighed. This level of attention translates to consistent velocities and reliable accuracy from box to box.
Built for Real Hunting Conditions
The 70-grain bullet weight is the sweet spot for .223 hunting rifles. You get enough mass and velocity to perform ethically on smaller game and varmints at practical hunting distances, while maintaining the flat trajectory and low recoil the caliber is known for. With a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second, each round delivers approximately 1,175 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. This is a load that works in both bolt-action rifles and AR-platform guns, making it adaptable to whatever .223 you own.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 70-grain AccuBond good for deer hunting?
The 70-grain AccuBond is capable on deer-sized game if your rifle has a fast enough barrel twist rate to stabilize it properly. Many hunters report good results, but it performs best within closer ranges (under 200 yards) where the .223 Remington excels. Make sure your rifle twist rate can handle this bullet weight before purchasing, and always practice for accurate shot placement.
What's the difference between Trophy Grade and Match Grade ammunition from Nosler?
Trophy Grade is designed for hunting with controlled-expansion bullets like the AccuBond. Match Grade focuses on competition shooting accuracy with match-grade hollow point boat tail bullets. Both receive Nosler's meticulous quality control, but they're optimized for different purposes.
Can I use this ammunition in an AR-15?
Yes, this 223 Remington ammunition works in AR-15 rifles and other semi-automatic platforms chambered in .223 Remington. The AccuBond's polymer tip and boat-tail design are specifically engineered for reliable feeding in modern rifles. Just verify your rifle is chambered in .223 Remington and not another caliber.
What is the ballistic coefficient of the 70-grain AccuBond?
The 70-grain AccuBond has a ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.416, which provides good wind resistance and trajectory retention for a .223 round at practical hunting distances. This helps maintain energy and accuracy when conditions aren't perfect.
