5.56x45MM – 62 Grain FMJ – M855 – GREENTIP XTAC – PMC – 600 Rounds in Battle Pack (41.7¢ per round)

Manufactured by the same company that supplies the South Korean military with 5.56 NATO ammo, these PMC X-TAC cartridges follow the M855 “ball” standard. The 62 grain full metal jacket bullet sports a distinctive steel ‘green tip’ and leaves the muzzle at around 3,100 feet per second, typical for M855 rounds.

This 600-round case is perfect for high volume AR-15 shooters, although these rounds may work in .223 Remington firearms depending on the model (check with the manufacturer if unsure). The makers of this ammo, Poongsan, produce all of their own components and control the entire supply chain for maximum quality assurance. All PMC ammo uses non-corrosive Boxer primers and brass cases.

M855 ball ammunition is similar to that currently in use by the US military and American allies around the world. Despite its steel-tip and ‘penetrator’ nickname, it has a lead core and is safe to use for most target and sporting applications. Due to its high penetration and non-expanding nature, it is not suitable for civilian self-defense purposes.
