The Sierra 223 Remington Prairie Enemy load combines the popular 223 Remington cartridge with Sierra's 69gr BlitzKing PT bullet. This ammunition is tailored for varmint hunting and precision shooting, offering a flat trajectory and high ballistic coefficient. The BlitzKing bullet's polymer tip initiates rapid expansion, even at longer ranges or lower velocities. While primarily marketed for varmint control, many shooters also find this load suitable for target shooting due to its inherent accuracy. As with all Sierra products, these rounds are manufactured to tight tolerances for shot-to-shot consistency.
