Description
The Remington UMC Freedom Bucket gives you 300 rounds of quality .223 Rem ammunition in a convenient, reusable container. Built with a 55-grain full metal jacket bullet, this load travels at 3240 feet per second and delivers 1282 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, making it plenty effective for everything from casual plinking to serious range work.
What Makes the Freedom Bucket a Smart Buy
You get factory-fresh brass cases with non-corrosive boxer primers that fire clean and reliable, round after round. The brass is reloadable too, so if you reload, you're extending the value of every shot you fire. Remington manufactures this ammo right here in the USA using quality components and manufacturing standards honed over more than a century. The full metal jacket design feeds smoothly in semi-automatic rifles and keeps your barrel cleaner than softer bullets, which means less frequent maintenance when you're putting downrange a lot of rounds.
Built for High-Volume Shooting
This isn't premium match-grade ammunition, and it doesn't pretend to be. What it is, is reliable training and practice ammo that performs where it counts. The 55-grain FMJ has a ballistic coefficient of 0.202, making it suitable for target work out to reasonable distances. Most shooters find this load gives them repeatable performance for sighting in optics, working on fundamentals, and building volume trigger time at the range. The bucket packaging keeps everything organized and protected, and the container itself is reusable for storage or transport.
Range-Ready Performance
With UMC, you're getting ammo that's made for shooters who value consistency and reliability at a fair price. The non-corrosive primers and clean-burning powder mean less fouling in your gas system and easier cleanup afterward. Whether you run AR-15s, bolt-actions, or other .223 platforms, this ammunition feeds and functions dependably.
