LuckyGunner Labs: 5.56 vs. 223 - What You Know May Be Wrong

See More Information

PMC is gaining popularity in the US market and has now come out with their own 5.56x45 penetrator round. This M855 steel core 62 gr FMJ round is manufactured to mil-spec and offers great penetration with the added benefit of being more cost effective than many of the American manufactured rounds.

It is loaded to NATO specs and is NOT intended for use in commercial or bolt-action rifles chambered for 223 Remington ammo - but it is perfect for your AR15! Please check with your gun manufacturer prior to purchasing this ammo (most AR15's are fine, but it is best to check first!).

Each round is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable. It is both economical and very reliable.

Q: Hello, I had a question about this statement from the Product Info section: "Please check with your gun manufacturer prior to purchasing this ammo (most AR15's are fine, but it is best to check first!)." Is this ammo hotter than regular military 62 grain? Is it like "+P" or something? My rifle is two years old and is fine with .223 and 5.56. I only care to shoot standard pressure 55 and 62 grain rounds. Thanks

Posted On: 5/25/2020 By: Jake

A: Hi Jake! This isn't overpressure ammo or anything like that. We're just giving newer shooters a heads-up that 5.56 and 223 are not to be mistaken for one another, and that a rifle chambered strictly for 223 shouldn't run 5.56. From the sound of your rifle, it should run this ammo just fine!

Q: Is this ammo (5.56x45 - 62 Grain FMJ M855 - PMC ) suitable for a rifle chambered in 223 wylde?

Posted On: 5/18/2020 By: Emfal

A: The 223 Wylde is awesome because it's compatible with both 223 Rem and 5.56x45, and furthermore more accurate at firing 223 Rem than a rifle chambered only for 5.56x45. To answer your question – yes! This ammo will function correctly in a rifle chambered for 223 Wylde.

A: Hello Dave! For all your questions about shipping to New York, please reach out to our customer service department at customerservice@luckygunner.com or 800-317-9506.

Q: Can I reload these cases?

Posted On: 3/30/2020 By: CHAD A RUPP

A: Absolutely, Chad! PMC manufactures and draws all of their brass in-house, and they use non-corrosive Boxer primers. They're also the primary ammo supplier to the armed forces of South Korea. Their casings should hold up well over the course of multiple reloads.

Q: How is this ammunition packaged (1000 rounds, #boxes, # rounds per box)?

Posted On: 2/7/2017 By: Craig

A: Hello Craig, This ammunition is packaged with 20 rounds per box and 50 boxes per 1000 round case.

Q: Is all X-Tac ammo sealed against moisture?

Posted On: 7/13/2016 By: Rex

A: Hello Rex, The PMC Xtac ammunition is all manufactured with a sealed primer.

Q: Is this a US manufacture

Posted On: 7/18/2015 By: Jason

A: Hello Jason! Thank you for reaching out to us about this ammunition. The PMC ammunition is manufactured in South Korea.

Q: Are these 100% copper FMJ.. or are they bimetal like a lot of over seas ammo??

Posted On: 10/25/2014 By: Jason Knell

A: Hello Jason, The PMC Xtac 62 grain is a copper coated lead bullet that features a steel core penetrator.

Q: Are these legal to buy, and own as resident and a civilian in california?

Posted On: 5/14/2014 By: Ethan

A: Hello Ethan, I am unaware of any shipping or ownership restrictions to California. You can place an order for these online or over the phone and we can ship it right to your door.

Q: May be a dumb question but since these are steel core are they entirely lead free ammo? I live in CA and so I need to stock up on lead free for all my guns.

Posted On: 2/28/2014 By: N. Shipley

A: Hello, These M855 rounds do have a lead core with steel in the tip, so they are not lead free.

Q: David R Greene What is the purpose of the metal core if not for armor piercing? Thank you.

Posted On: 11/4/2013 By: David Greene

A: The steel in the projectile is not a solid steel projectile - it's just a steel tipped core. Basically, that allows these rounds to penetrate well but they don't have the same strength as an armor piercing round would.

Q: If a weapon is marked 5.56/223 is it safe to use either round?

Posted On: 7/20/2013 By: Bill

A: Yes. The marking on your rifle shows that either round will be safely accepted in the chamber of the rifle. While both the 5.56 NATO round and the .223 Rem will appear to be identical, the 5.56 NATO round will be loaded to a higher pressure. The lower pressure .223 Rem round is still powerful enough to ensure proper function. It should be noted that any weapon marked with .223 only, should not have 5.56 ammunition fed into the chamber. PMC also offers a .223 Round which is a great choice for indoor ranges that may prohibit ammunition that will stick to a magnet. Other xm193 rounds will work for indoor range needs.
