PMC X-Tac 5.56 Ammunition (55gr)

M193-Spec 5.56 Range Ammo

PMC X-Tac is a 5.56mm rifle load built to match M193, the US military's standard 55-grain ball cartridge. It is made for high-volume shooting: range sessions, carbine drills and rifle zeroing, where you want consistent rounds that are easy to buy again. Each box holds 20 brass-cased centerfire cartridges loaded with a 55-grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet.

Features

• 5.56x45mm NATO Chambering — The cartridge used by the AR-15 family and many other modern sporting rifles chambered for 5.56 NATO.
• M193 Equivalent Load — The box is marked 5.56MM (M193), so it mirrors the 55-grain ball round the US military has long used for training and general issue.
• 55 Grain Bullet — Grain is the standard unit of bullet weight, and 55 grains is the most common weight for 5.56 practice ammunition.
• FMJ-BT Bullet — A full metal jacket encloses the lead core in copper for clean feeding, and the tapered boat tail base helps the bullet hold velocity downrange.
• 3,120 FPS Muzzle Velocity — PMC rates the load at 3,120 feet per second as it leaves the barrel, printed on the box as MV.
• Brass Cases — Each cartridge uses a brass case, with visible annealing marks at the neck and shoulder from the heat treatment that keeps that area from cracking.
• Sealed Primer — A red sealant ring around the primer helps keep moisture out during storage and handling.
• 20-Round Box — Packed in a printed card box marked with caliber, bullet weight, bullet type and velocity for easy sorting on the bench.
• Made In Korea — Produced for PMC Ammunition, as stated on the box.

Chambering And Safety

Fire X-Tac in rifles whose barrel or chamber is marked 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde. Because 5.56 runs at higher pressure than .223 Remington, do not shoot it in a firearm chambered only for .223 Remington. Check the marking on your barrel before loading, and keep ammunition stored out of reach of children.
