The PMC X-Tac 556K delivers consistent performance with 62-grain light armor piercing projectiles engineered for tactical applications. This 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition combines PMC's precision manufacturing with green tip technology for enhanced barrier penetration.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard ball ammunition, the X-Tac 556K features a steel penetrator core beneath the lead core, providing superior performance against intermediate barriers. The 62-grain projectile maintains velocity better than lighter rounds while delivering flatter trajectories than heavier options. PMC's quality control ensures consistent powder charges and primer seating for reliable ignition across temperature extremes.
