PMC X-Tac 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition delivers the reliability and consistency shooters need for everything from range days to tactical training. Built on PMC's reputation for military-spec quality, each box of 20 rounds features a 55-grain full metal jacket bullet designed for dependable feeding and straightforward, no-fuss performance across AR-15s and other 5.56 platforms. Whether you're running high-volume drills, zeroing a new rifle, or just putting rounds downrange, X-Tac ammo is engineered to perform without drama.
The foundation of X-Tac's reliability is its boxer-primed brass casing and non-corrosive formulation—a practical combination that supports smooth cycling in semi-auto rifles and leaves your brass clean for reloading. That matters if you shoot often: reloadable brass means you're not watching empty cases disappear, and it stretches your ammunition budget over time. The rounds are tested to NATO specifications and deliver approximately 3,270 fps muzzle velocity from a 20-inch barrel, offering the velocity consistency and flat trajectory that make accurate shooting easier.
X-Tac runs clean and cycles reliably without excessive fouling, so you spend more time shooting and less time scrubbing your barrel. The full metal jacket bullet is a straightforward, proven design—not a premium hunting round or specialized load, just solid, honest ammunition that does the job. If you're building a supply for frequent range trips, tactical courses, or just reliable practice ammo for your modern rifle, PMC X-Tac is a no-nonsense choice that won't let you down.
