Details
This “green tip” ammo is made to NATO’s M855 standard. Each
62-grain bullet has a steel core penetrator and a full metal jacket for higher
penetration. It has a strong reputation among shooters for its accuracy,
cleanliness, and consistency.
These rounds come bulk packed in 20 round boxes. The rounds are Boxer-primed with reloadable brass cases. Muzzle velocity clocks in around 2,920 fps, with a muzzle energy of 1,174 foot-pounds.
Note: This is steel-core ammunition and should not be used on steel targets. It is also 5.56 NATO ammo, so shooters with firearms chambered in .223 Remington should ensure that their weapon is designed to fire higher-pressure 5.56x45 ammo before attempting to use these rounds.
PMC X-TAC ammo is made by the Poongsan Corporation, a manufacturer of ammo for the South Korean military. A longtime producer of NATO-spec ammunition, Poongsan possesses decades of experience in manufacturing ammo. The company makes its own ammo components in order to have maximum quality control throughout the production process. Any ammunition that fails tight tolerances for powder loads is rejected, ensuring that only good rounds reach the end user.

PMC hard to find around here. Sells out quick. Always awesome selection of bullets at Bulkammo. My father and I have both purchased with FAST and ACCURATE shipping. Contacted with questions and had 2 different reps respond quickly. To me that is everything in a business! Have told relatives and friends to check it out. Won't be sorry. Will definitely be buying more. Thanks again! (Posted on 12/14/2023)

The ammo couldn't be better, and BulkAmmo is a great company to deal with, and deserves some accolades. There was a message on the site that said it could take up to three days to be shipped, which was perfectly understandable, especially considering the circumstances. However, I got an email a few hours later saying it had shipped, and it was on my front porch 2 days later! My hat's off to BulkAmmo, you have a customer for life. (Posted on 6/5/2020)

I bought this ammo for the reason I wanted a heavier bullet to see if my groups would get tighter as my rifle has a fast twist rate 1:8 and it did help tighten up my groups at 100 yards. I could probably do better if I had a better premium ammo but at least I could confirm that my rifle likes a heavier bullet. On another note, this was my first purchase through Bulk Ammo as I couldn't find heavier bullets locally and anyways I always have orders shipped to me at work as I don't get home till late and had bad experiences with the deliveries arriving at my home. Since my shipping address was different than my billing Bulk Ammo called me to confirm that I placed the order and not someone else and they was very friendly. I like how they went the extra mile and make sure that it wasn't someone that might have stolen my credit information. Delivery was fast too. Will use Bulk Ammo again. (Posted on 3/18/2015)

Another great transaction with Bulk Ammo. The order was accurate, delivery was fast and the ease of ordering is almost unbelievable.
This PMC XM855 is good quality military spec ammo. My AR's eat it and spit it out with no issues.
A real testament to Bulk Ammo having XM855 in stock without price gouging in the face of another threatened ammo ban by Washington. (Posted on 3/18/2015)

This stuff shoots great, dead on target at all ranges, speed feeds correctly and is clean. Prices are killing me right now, the cheaper 223 alternatives don't work well in my 5.56 gas piston rifles(FN FS2000 & Sig 556), so if you're going to spend more per round for any decent dedicated 5.56 ammo why not buy the best? I'm looking for this stuff here on Bulk Ammo every time. (Posted on 4/4/2013)

I have used a few different kinds of ammo since I got my AR-15 a few weeks ago, but these seem to be the most accurate for me and are a very high quality of ammo. My only drawback is the price, but all .223/5.56 ammo is super expensive right now. (Posted on 3/31/2013)

I used about 500 rounds of this ammo at a basic carbine instruction class. All rounds fired properly and seemed quite accurate. The barrel got very hot at one point, but it was exacerbated by the 95+ degree heat and humidity. The ammo worked well in my 1:8 twist barrel which seems to handle the 62 gr bulletts better than the 55 gr. 500 rounds, no FTFs, excellent accuracy (for me) and a good price. I WILL buy this ammo again. (Posted on 8/20/2012)

Q: Is this ammo safe for indoor range use?
Posted On: 4/17/2021 By: Robert Daniels Jr.
A: Thanks for reaching out Robert! An M855 bullet contains a steel tip in its core. Many indoor ranges ban magnetic bullets because they present a higher chance of ricochet, may damage range equipment, and may create sparks as well. Many indoor ranges don't ban bullets that contain steel, too, so they're not altogether unacceptable for indoor use. Some ranges just opt for that added degree of safety. In short, nonmagnetic bullets are indeed safer for indoor range use, but not so much that they're universally required by all indoor ranges.
Q: This is advertised as around 3100 FPS , boxes showed up and they say 2920fps. I’m less than impressed, if it says 2920 on the box it should be advertised as 2920 on your website.
Posted On: 1/3/2021 By: Dustin
A: Thanks for reaching out Dustin! Please forgive us. PMC's own data on their website say this round's muzzle velocity is 3,100 fps (pmcammo.com/product/x-tac-5-56k/), but that doesn't appear to match this ammo's packaging. I've updated the product page to reflect the packaging and not what is stated on PMC's website.
Q: Will this ammo work in a 223 wylde barrel?
Posted On: 12/30/2020 By: Dominic Oliver
A: Yes sir, absolutely. A 223 Wylde chamber is designed to work just as well with 5.56 as it does 223.
Q: Is this ammo (specifically) ss109 steel core?
Posted On: 1/25/2016 By: Paul
A: Hello Paul,
This ammunition is loaded with an SS109 style steel penetrator projectile.
