PMC Ammunition 55 Grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Ammo Details

PMC ammunition hails from South Korea, where it is made by the Poongsan Corporation. They are an ISO certified company that was founded in 1968, and which today provides everything from pistol cartridges to howitzer rounds to the South Korean armed forces. PMC’s 223 Rem ammunition offers exactly the performance you want while you’re shredding up paper or ringing steel gongs at the range.

The 55 grain full metal jacket is the most popular choice of bullet for AR-pattern rifles. It lacks any features which would have made it more effective for self-defense, but that just makes the FMJ more economical. PMC’s bullet contains a lead core and copper alloy jacket, which together leave it incapable of attracting a magnet. The “BT” in FMJBT stands for boat tail – a sloping base which promotes faster downrange velocities and the flatter trajectories they go hand in hand with.

PMC’s Bronze label ammo is loaded with virgin brass cases. Their powder burns up clean and consistently, and their primers are noncorrosive Boxers. This reloadable ammo is packaged 20 rounds to a box, 50 boxes to a case, and it comes with freaky fast shipping when you order it from Ammo To Go!

    This PMC 55-grain bronze tip FMJ ammo is by far the most consistent and accurate shooting of all brands tested since 2009 to present day! Any time you can get factory ammo to shoot 0.25" to 0.35" groups at 100 yards in either an AR or bolt action rifle you have a winner that rivals the best hand loads!

    Having tested all the major brands of 223 Remington ammo in multiple AR-15's of every barrel length and twist rate, I have concluded that PMC's 55-grain Bronze tip FMJ ammo is the best factory ammo for accuracy and reliability bar none! When you can get <0.25" to 0.3" groups at 100 yards using a scope that ammo rivals the best of hand loads!

    Great ammo at great price. I bought a thousand rounds, and ran through 200 just this afternoon. My DPMS AR 15 seemed to love it, not a single problem with any of it. Rather nice clean burning ammo, at a super price. I still have another 800 rounds, but I'm already sure that I will be reordering this ammo again. You just can't beat the price and quality of this ammo. An yes I would highly recommend this ammo, to anyone looking to do some range shooting or plinking. An lastly the quality, service and ease of Ammo to go is outstanding! I will definitely be ordered more, after ordering some 9mm first....

    I have popped 2 cases of the .223 stuff using a Stag arms AR and a Ruger Ranch both with 5.56 chambers and have had no issues. Accuracy is good from the bench and when plinking at gongs. I wish I could say that much about my capabilities to point it where I want the rounds to go when offhand. I got a case of the 5.56 Extac and so far no issues with either gun after function firing, but the Ruger puts them about a foot away from the .223 stuff. Still working on the AR impact point with this loading.

    Great price, fast shipping! Very accurate and consistent loads. Muzzle velocity was equally consistent with deviations well in acceptable limits for target and competitive shooting. The brass case has proven durable with up to 5 reloads per case. It may last more than that for target or subsonic reloads. It does shoot a little dirtier than more expensive .223, but the quality if worth it. I shoot this on four different manufacturer AR platforms with no FTF or FTE. Very happy with this product. Thanks Scott!

    The price on this ammo is very good. I've used pmc in the past with no issues, and ammo to go got it here in 4 business days. The only reasons I did not give 5 stars are that I was shorted one box, and the case necks are not annealed as advertised in the description.

    I've been to the range twice now. Once with a Simmons Red Dot Scope on my 9.2" barreled PLR-16 and the last time with a Bushnell AR 223 Rifle scope. The second time it was windy at the range, 10 - 15 mph gusting winds. I still managed a 100 yd group of 1 1/4 inches. For me that was absolutely amazing. I'll be 66 years old in 4 days and my eyes aren't what they used to be. I shot the group from a rest. Next I'm going to a range that offers up to 500 yard shots and find out how my pistol does with the Mil dots in my scope. My pistol shoots the 223 at 2600 fps out of the short barrel and I'm curious how the dots correspond to the ranges. Cleaning my weapon was easy, no carbon buildup, I've fired thousands of rds through an M-16 during my time in the military and carbon buildup was a concern then. Happy shooting Brothers!

    I bought 1000 rds and couldn't be more pleased with the quality and clean shooting PMC. My PLR-16 ran this ammo with no problems and after firing at the range cleaning was a breeze. I've shot more expensive ammo that was dirtier to shoot. I'll buy more here in the future!

    I've tested about every brand of factory ammo on the market in 223 Remington and this PMC ammo in 55-grain is by far the most consistent performing and tightest group shooting at 100 yards, whether shot in a a 20", 18", or 16" rifle regardless of twist rates from 1/12" down to the faster 1/7" and all twists in-between with some groups registering under 0.25"! Fired cases are great for reloading also. Excellent value for the cost.

    I purchased 100 rds of this ammo locally and had no problems with FTF or FTE on my Kel Tec PLR_16, 9 1/2 inch barrel, 1 - 7 twist. So good I've just order 1000 rds. Very accurate, clean ammo and I will order from Ammo to Go again!

    Not only does this stuff function flawlessly, it's clean even in my 8.5 inch SBRs- usually dirtier due to unburnt powder. 1 MOA from 8.5 inch bbl from a rest @ 100m is damn good enough. A huge benefit is that the brass resizes beautifully for those of us who make 300 BLK
    cases from .223- gotten as many as 6 resizings - never any problems. Great buy!

    Four days at a private ranch in CO, lecturing to executives on Sporting Clays, its' history and the increase in people shooting. Many hadn't shot ANY gun before and after an introduction to Sporting clays, we brought out an AR15 Bushmaster and a Croatian AK47. We had several 60 round magazines. The "Rambo" came out in all the newbies. In a short time we had fired 840 rounds as quick as they could pull the trigger, and we could reload the magazines. Both guns had to rest as they were smoking, even the wood on the AK47 got too hot to handle. Needless to say not one bad shot, no jams. The remaining 160 were shot later the evening, after we could hold the guns. Excellent ammunition, 1000 out of 1000 perfect feeds and fires; can't say the same for the destroying of targets! Am just re-ordering another 2,000 rounds.

    Used 5000 rounds for our "Oathkeepers' group. Not a single problem, and a s accurated as match ammo. Put to a vote of some of our members (130 of those in Northern California) this is our choice of ammo to carry into comabt. Both because it is very available and it is prices to where we can stock up on it. Our price for 20,000 rounds is the same as your price for 1000. Our group has been stocking up on j for two years.

    I have ran most of a case through my scoped DPMS AR 15. There have been no issues with misfires or ejection issues. I am shooting 3 shot, 1 /2" groups at 100 yards with it. I haven't tried any other ammo as yet so I have nothing to compare it to. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys plinking. As of right now you can't beat the price for this good firing ammo.

    I bought 2000 rounds of this for a training course. I only got to shoot 1200 in the class due to a water issue in my basement (skipped morning session of day 2), so with the leftovers I shot a coyote at 150 plus yards, a skunk in my yard, a possum in my yard, and another 250 or so rounds of training. I have absolutely no complaints with this ammo. ZERO misfires, my rifle fed flawlessly and performed perfectly. I will definitely be getting more. Outstanding ammo for the price.

    Great ammo. Nice clean uniform brass. Didn't have any problems out of the 1000 I shot. A little underpowered but not enough to cause short stroking in a mid length AR system with an H buffer.
