Frequently asked questions

Is Federal Gold Medal 73-grain suitable for AR-15 rifles?

Yes. The .223 REM cartridge is the standard chamber for AR-15 platforms. This 73-grain Berger load feeds reliably and delivers the precision these rifles were designed for.

What makes the boat-tail bullet design beneficial for distance shooting?

Boat-tail bullets reduce aerodynamic drag and improve ballistic coefficient, resulting in flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and more consistent long-range impact points compared to flat-base designs.

How long is the California firearm waiting period?

California requires a 10-day waiting period from when DROS is submitted until you can take possession of the firearm. TacticCAL is your gun store Milpitas in the Bay Area.
