PMC Bronze .223 Rem 55gr FMJ

PMC Bronze .223 Remington represents the sweet spot between reliability and affordability for high-volume training. Manufactured by Poongsan Metal Corporation in South Korea, this ammunition has earned a reputation for consistent performance that rivals many premium brands at a fraction of the cost. The 55-grain full metal jacket boat tail projectile is loaded in high-quality brass cases that can be reloaded multiple times, making it an economical choice for serious shooters who reload their spent brass.

The ammunition uses Boxer primers and is loaded to .223 Remington specifications, making it safe for use in both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO chambers. PMC's quality control ensures consistent velocities and reliable feeding across a wide range of AR-15 platforms and bolt-action rifles. The clean-burning powder reduces fouling and extends cleaning intervals, while the brass cases feature proper annealing for reliable extraction.

Real-world testing shows PMC Bronze delivers velocities around 3,200 fps from a 24-inch barrel and approximately 2,900 fps from more common 16-inch barrels. This makes it suitable for zeroing optics, confirming point of impact, and high-volume training at ranges from 25 to 300 yards. The ballistic coefficient of .243 provides adequate downrange performance for most training applications.
