Detailed Analysis:
What Shooters Praise (The Pros)
The vast majority of reviewers report firing hundreds of rounds—often in a single session—without any failures to feed, fire, or eject. The ammo cycles smoothly in semi-auto and bolt-action rifles from multiple brands, making it a dependable choice for consistent and trouble-free operation.
Performance is well regarded for general use: the ammo maintains tight groups for most users (often 1–3 MOA) and easily engages steel targets at medium to long distances (out to 500+ yards). A minority of users report less than stellar accuracy (3–4 MOA groupings at 100 yards), especially when compared to match-grade loads, but this seems to depend on the rifle and user's expectations.
PMC .308 is frequently praised as one of the most cost-effective options available, with users consistently emphasizing attractive pricing, value for bulk purchases, and fast, reliable shipping. The combination of low price and brass casing for reloading further enhances its appeal.
What to Know (The Nuances)
• Generally described as clean-burning, with several reviewers specifically noting minimal carbon buildup and easy cleanup afterward
• Reloadable brass case—key for those who reload, and a notable distinction from steel-cased competitors
• Packaging is minimalist; rounds are sometimes loose inside the box, though this is attributed to cost-saving and has no reported impact on ammo function
• Not marketed or expected to be match-grade—several users recommend against it for hunting, scope zeroing, or highly precise applications
• Accuracy can vary significantly depending on the rifle; some users report sub-MOA performance, while others experience groups up to 3–4 MOA
Conclusion
PMC .308 147 gr FMJBT stands out as a top pick for shooters prioritizing reliability, affordability, and reloadable brass for practice and recreational range sessions. It is not intended for match-level precision, but it consistently delivers clean shooting and solid accuracy for its class. The main value lies in its trouble-free operation and low cost, making it ideal for the budget-conscious enthusiast needing reliable bulk ammo. For those seeking the tightest possible groups or hunting performance, a higher grade load may be preferable.

Packaging is sparse, there is no plastic carriage inside the cardboard box. The rounds are packed in the same size box as before, but just loose in the box. I'm sure this is due to recent manufacturing demand and to keep prices down.
Haven't had a single failure yet after going through a stack of boxes. Would buy again. (Posted on 4/5/2021)
