Details

This 223 Rem cartridge by PMC features a 55 grain bullet. The bullet sports a full metal jacket, so your rifle’s bore will be preserved against lead fouling which would loosen your groupings. It also features a boat tail design, which stabilizes its trajectory in flight for increased accuracy, a higher ballistic coefficient, and resistance against cross winds.

These 200 cartridges come in a sealed battle pack, so they’re ideal for a hunting trip, bug-out bag, or storage in areas where the integrity of your ammunition may become compromised by water or humidity.

PMC ammunition is manufactured in South Korea by the Poongsan Corporation, which makes everything from small arms cartridges to howitzer shells for their country’s military. The company’s mission is to make South Korea totally self-reliant for all of their ammunition needs, and as such they spare no attention to detail when it comes to their products’ quality.

What Shooters Praise (The Pros)

Reliability

Reviews consistently report flawless operation across multiple firearm platforms with no misfires, jams, or malfunctions. Several users mention firing substantial quantities (80-100 rounds per session) without issue.

Performance

Many users describe the ammo as precise and consistent, supporting scope sighting and tight grouping at distance. Ammunition functions as expected and is praised for its clean-burning properties by most, although one mention notes it runs a bit dirty.

Bargain

Strong value proposition is a recurring theme. Customers highlight competitive pricing and well-designed, durable packaging for both transport and long-term storage, making it ideal for bulk purchases.

What to Know (The Nuances)

• Ammunition runs clean for most, but at least one reviewer noted it is 'dirty,' so cleanliness may vary slightly between lots
• Packaging is repeatedly praised – durable and weather-resistant, ideal for long-term storage or preppers
• Casing material is not specifically mentioned, but no complaints about reloading or brass type appear in reviews
• Fast, reliable shipping is consistently emphasized as a positive differentiator
• Packaging design enhances usability for transport and storage, especially for law enforcement and stockpiling
• One user suggests packaging could be even more tamper-evident with clear heavy plastic, but this is an isolated note, not a broad concern

Conclusion

This .223 ammo receives strong endorsement from a wide range of users, including sport shooters, law enforcement, and preppers. Its greatest strengths are consistency, reliability, and quick, safe delivery. Packaging is a standout feature for storage and transport. The only minor drawback is a potential for slightly dirtier shooting in some cases. Overall, this is an excellent choice for anyone seeking dependable ammunition for practice, training, or stockpiling at a compelling price.

A: Yes sir! Factory fresh (never-before-fired) reloadable brass. (PMC is owned by South Korea's largest brass fabricator.)

Posted On: 11/7/2023 By: Larry Ricketts

A: Thanks for reaching out Larry! This type of ammo packaging – hermetically sealed plastic bags, essentially – was named the "Battle Pack" by PMC, the South Korean company which manufactures it. They're not trying to associate this 223 Rem ammo with any particular nation's armed forces, although, to PMC's credit, they are the South Korean military's chief small arms ammo supplier.

A: Hello Jason, These 55gr. FMJ rounds by PMC in .223 are excellent rounds. They have brass cases, lead cores, and copper jackets. We try and price our ammo as low as possible to get you the best deal on them, so when we get a good deal on them from the manufacturer, we pass it along to you.
