Question

Answer 1

A: Thanks for reaching out! I wish I could promise you when we'll get this ammo back in stock. We're hard at work sourcing new inventory every day, and update our site in real time – I hope you'll check in again with us soon to see what we can do for you!

Answer 2

A: Hi Darren, Crimped primers are typically not done on commercial spec ammo. This is typically reserved for NATO or Mil-Spec ammo. The brass case is re-loadable with a Boxer primer.

Answer 3

A: Hello Jon! This ammunition is loaded with a standard lead core, copper jacketed projectile. Unfortunately this is not a lead free option.

Answer 4

A: Hello Del, The PMC Bronze ammunition is listed as a 3200 fps muzzle velocity through a 24" barrel. The 2900 fps muzzle velocity is an update to the package by PMC to list the muzzle velocity from a 16" barrel.

Answer 5

A: Hello Jay! This PMC ammunition is all new manufacture. As a result, it is loaded with completely non-corrosive components.

Answer 6

A: Hello Paul! Thank you for reaching out to us for the ballistics on this ammunition. According to PMC, the muzzle velocity of this round is measured at 3200 fps with a muzzle energy measured at 1250 ft. lbs.

Answer 7

A: Hello Jeremy, PMC ammunition is all new manufacture. They do not currently manufacture any reloaded ammunition.

Answer 8

A: Hello, The boat tail design has a tapper at the rear of the projectile which improves aerodynamics which reduces drag and improves stability. Boat tail projectiles tend to have better accuracy at longer distances over non-boat tail projectiles.

Answer 9

A: Hello Brandon, These 55gr. FMJ rounds by PMC in .223 are non-corrosive. You can fire them in any firearm chambered in .223 without having to worry about corrosion.

Answer 10

A: Hello Pete, These 55gr. FMJ rounds by PMC in .223 come in 20 round boxes inside the case of 1000. There are 50 boxes of 20 rounds each inside.

Answer 11

A: Hello Pedro, Yes, these 55gr. FMJBT rounds by PMC in .223 are non-magnetic. You can shoot them at your range and they will not attract a magnet. They have a lead core, copper jacket, and a brass case.

Answer 12

A: Hey Vern, Thank you for the question and for coming in to check out the site! Soft point bullets refer to the projectile - it's basically a lead expanding bullet with a copper or brass jacket that is open at the tip. Soft points expand, unlike a full metal jacket round but don't expand as much as most jacketed hollow point rounds. Because it expands less than a jacketed hollow point round, soft points generally penetrate deeper into a target than the jacketed hollow point would. Soft point rounds don't have a polymer tip and really, the name is a little deceiving. There is nothing soft about the tip when it's heading toward a target. I hope that helps and please feel free to fire away with any other questions you might have!

Answer 13

A: Most indoor ranges will allow a full metal jacket with a lead core. It should be noted that some foreign brands such as Tula, Brown Bear and Wolf will load their full metal jacket bullets with a lead core. However, these jackets will consist of a bimetal material which does contain steel. This steel will attract to a magnet and may be prohibited in some indoor ranges. Brass cased pistol rounds will usually contain a copper-only jacket and will be a "go" for indoor ranges. Additionally, this PMC .223 Rem ammunition may be fired indoors.

Answer 14

A: This product is "regular full metal jacket" and does not have a steel core. The bullet is manufactured with a lead core inside a copper jacket. This product will not attract a magnet (some ranges will test for bullets containing steel by checking to see if a magnet is a attracted to the bullets).

Answer 15

A: This PMC ammo is made in the Republic of Korea.

Answer 16

A: The biggest benefit to brass ammo is that the case can be reloaded. The steel cases are made from a very mild steel and will not damage the hard chrome lining of your heat treated steel AR-15 barrel. If you have tested a small amount of steel ammo in your rifle and know it works, then you should have no concerns about ordering it in quantity. However, if you want brass ammo or steel cased ammo does not function properly in your rifle, then PMC is a great choice.

Answer 17

A: This PMC .223 Rem ammo has a lead core projectile with a copper jacket.

Answer 18

A: "Boxer" refers to the type of primer used in the manufacture of the ammunition. There are two major types of primers in use today - Boxer and Berdan. The more common of the two is Boxer, which is much easier to reload than Berdan, although both offer excellent performance.

Answer 19

A: Yes, this PMC .223 brass is reloadable.

Answer 20

A: PMC brass can be reloaded, and you might notice a slight improvement in cleanliness or accuracy compared to Wolf ammo.

Answer 21

A: Yes, this PMC ammo is loaded with brass cases that can be reloaded.

Answer 22

A: Your 1/8 twist AR-15 will stabilize practically any projectile that will fit in the magazine, even at longer distances.

Answer 23

A: Yes, this round will stabilize in a 1/9 twist barrel to the stated maximum effective range of the firearm.

Answer 24

A: The truth is the opposite of what you stated. 5.56 chambers are sized to allow the relief of pressure as the weapon is fired, while .223 chambers are not. Combine these two with the fact that 5.56 ammo is loaded hotter than .223 Remington, and you have a situation in which a 5.56 chamber is safe to fire both types of ammo, but 5.56 ammo fired in a .223 chamber can result in unsafe pressures.

Answer 25

A: This is the best price we can offer at these amounts. We do offer significant discounts on purchases of $25,000 or more.

Answer 26

A: Compared to Lake City brass, practically all .223 Rem brass is not as durable for reloading. However, this PMC brass is quite good and most competent reloaders can achieve a good number of reloads from it.

Answer 27

A: Yes - see the "Terms of Sale" link at the bottom of the page for more information.

Answer 28

A: Unless it takes you many decades or even centuries to fire this ammunition, you are not likely to encounter misfires when firing it in a serviceable rifle.

Answer 29

A: Boat-tailed bullets have a higher ballistic coefficient, meaning that they retain more velocity and energy at range, drop less, are affected by wind less, and have a greater maximum effective range.

Answer 30

A: The "boat tail" design reduces drag, which translates into a higher ballistic coefficient. The benefit to the end user is that the boat tailed bullet maintains higher velocities and drops less as it travels through the air.
