PMC X-TAC 5.56 has been great ammo for me. It has become my go-to choice for plinking and general range use. The quality seems very solid, it shoots clean, and I have not had any reliability issues with it.
Accuracy has also been good for bulk 55-grain FMJ ammo. It is not match ammo, obviously, but for training, practice, and range days, it does exactly what I want. Good value, consistent performance, and clean-burning enough that I’m happy to keep buying it. Highly recommended.
PMC X-TAC 5.56 NATO ammunition is derived from (and more powerful than) the .223 Remington cartridge. This rifle ammunition is one of the most popular ammo types used in AR-15s. The full metal jacket construction of the cartridge is an affordable choice for high volume range training. The boat-tail design of this 5.56 bullet is used by the military due to better aerodynamics and therefore a longer effective range and higher accuracy than the original flat-base design. The reloadable brass makes this 5.56 round an even better deal.
The PMC X-TAC Line is manufactured to the precise specifications of military and law-enforcement organizations, assuring that X-TAC ammunition will perform perfectly. PMC uses carefully selected high quality raw materials and ensures the high performance of their ammunition by carrying out stringent quality inspections and target tests. PMC,s X-TAC ammunition is powerful, accurate and dependable, because in a life-threatening situation, no other standard is acceptable.
Note: .223 Remington cartridges can be fired from 5.56 NATO barrels, but 5.56 NATO rounds cannot be fired from .223 Remington barrels.
