20rds – 5.56x45 PMC X-TAC 62gr. FMJ M855 Ammo
PMC Ammunition 62 Grain Penetrator Ammo Details
We love PMC’s X-TAC label 5.56x45 M855 ammunition. It gives you a good feel for the same kind of penetrator ammo used by the U.S. Armed Forces, and its great quality and outstanding value make it perfect for shooting targets with an AR-15 at the range.This round’s bullet weighs in at 62 grains – a touch heavier than usual, and accordingly stabilized best by a 1:8” or 1:9” barrel twist. As a full metal jacket it’s designed to provide optimal functionality in a semi-automatic firearm by promoting smooth feeding and minimizing the rate of barrel fouling, and the jacket’s cannelure helps to stop recoil from jarring the bullet out of its seating in the case mouth.
The M855 bullet’s signature feature is just beneath the tip of its green-painted jacket. The solid steel frontal core is designed to help the bullet pierce a 1/8” thick sheet of steel at approximately 2,000 feet. That’s not of importance if you only use this ammo for target shooting, although you must take caution not to bring it to a range which prohibits “magnetic” bullets.
PMC is the South Korean military’s primary small arms ammo supplier. They draw, taper and cut their own reloadable brass cases, and load noncorrosive Boxer primers as well.

Ammo to Go rocks! Great price, quick delivery and accurate product. Perfect! I ordered 150 rds and went through them yesterday. Not a single misfeed or FTF in my DPMS Tactical. I was shooting close (less than 200 meters) but the rounds were accurate enough to take down a zombie. Thanks ATG!
