Product Overview

PMC's X-Tac 5.56 NATO round brings military-grade performance to your range day. This 55-grain projectile screams downrange at 3270 fps, delivering a whopping 1306 ft-lbs of energy on target. The boat tail design isn't just for show - it's engineering that translates to better stability at distance and improved accuracy when you're reaching out past 300 yards. Each round arrives ready to feed and function in your AR-15 exactly like the military ammunition it's patterned after.

In the field, this load proves its worth on everything from paper to predators. The full metal jacket boat tail configuration cuts through wind like a hot knife, while maintaining enough energy for ethical varmint hunting at extended ranges. When you're running drills or competing in local matches, you'll appreciate how this ammunition prints tight groups without beating up your barrel or your wallet. The consistent point of impact makes sight-in sessions more productive and less frustrating.

Whether you're burning through a case during tactical training or spending an afternoon teaching a new shooter, this ammunition delivers. The clean-burning powder keeps your action running smoothly, while the military-spec construction means reliable feeding in everything from vintage A1s to modern carbines. You might find cheaper options out there, but few match the X-Tac's blend of accuracy, reliability, and real-world performance. It's the kind of ammunition that makes you a better shooter - assuming you do your part behind the trigger.

Strengths
  • Superior velocity profile helps maintain better accuracy at extended ranges, especially beneficial for precision shooting past 300 yards
  • Boat tail design improves long-range stability and reduces wind drift effects during target practice sessions
  • Consistent powder charge and projectile seating depth supports reliable performance in high-round-count training
  • Higher velocity reduces holdover adjustments needed for distance shooting compared to standard options
Limitations
  • Premium price point may limit appeal for high-volume recreational shooting
  • Increased barrel wear potential from higher velocity compared to standard pressure loads
