Accurate and Clean
Review by DannyBoy -
Once again needing to fulfill my ammo needs as my supply is getting below my liking and I have been eating this ammo without any failures what so ever!!! Just ordered another few thousand rounds of this 62gr XM855 thru Bulk Ammo which I have no doubt betting my life on them. After shooting 1500 rounds of this on Tuesday one would think that you would have at lest one failure to feed, eject or one that would not go boom! Also although I shot thru my LWRCI SPR Gas Piston which eats even wolf ammo, it was ultra clean! This ammo has many Pro's and little Cons other than the price! In fact its the only Con about this ammo but honestly its universally similar with every other ammo out right now. Hopefully after all this political crap takes to the back burner maybe we can get back to enjoying the very low prices before all the price hikes!Reliable? Ammo Performance Bargain?
Just for those not familiar with these rounds! Please do not buy with intent of using within a indoor range as these rounds will penetrate the backdrops and I've heard of them even making it out of the building into others! Do not use on metal targets unless you own them and do not mind replacing them. They will go thru like butter. Just giving heads up...
These overall are tack drivers using on 1/7 twist 14 inch flutted SPR barrel which the heavier grain ammo works best for me hitting my target out 600 meters.

Very reliable
Review by Hans -
The XM855 rounds are very reliable. My Colt M4 and Daniels Defense V4 both perform flawlessly with this ammo. Both rifles appear to prefer the 5.56 ammo to .223. The price of the ammo has certainly increased since all of the hullabaloo regarding "assault rifles" and "high capacity magazines" started. Perhaps prices will reduce somewhat once the attempt to ban "assault rifles" flickers out? Lets hope so! (Posted on 3/22/13)Reliable? Ammo Performance Bargain? -

Ideal for shooting steel.
Review by Lord Malaki -
Green tip PMC ammo is safe and reliable. Great for 3-gun. I dialed it in as soon as I received the ammo. Dependable and acceptable groups at 100 yards. (Posted on 6/7/11)Ammo Performance Bargain? Reliable?

Q: Will the steel core bullet damage anything in my rifle? What's the pros and cons of using steel??
Thank you!
Posted On: 4/12/13 By: Phil
A: The steel core found in these bullets are towards the front tip of the bullet. However, these cores are covered in the standard copper jacket found on almost every full metal jacket cartridge on the market. This core will not cause any damage or premature wear on your rifle.
The steel core does a better job of penetrating its target, including other metals. This could be considered both a pro and a con. If you are plinking at throw-away targets, this feature may be considered a pro. If you are shooting at metals you wish to reuse in the future, you may want to avoid using steel core ammo. This is one reason they are prohibited in some indoor ranges. Overall this is an excellent choice for outdoor target shooting into a dirt bank.
