Frequently Asked Questions
PMC X-TAC 5.56 Ammo 62 gr LAP
Is PMC X-TAC 5.56 ammo any good?
PMC X-TAC 5.56 is reliable for training and range use. It features sealed primers, consistent FMJ loads, and feeds reliably in most AR-pattern rifles. It's a solid budget option, typically running around $68 per box and widely available from multiple retailers.
What does 62 grain lap mean?
62 grain refers to the bullet weight in grains. Heavier than the standard 55-grain round, 62-grain ammunition generally performs better at longer ranges and in wind, but requires a compatible rifle barrel twist rate, typically 1:8 or 1:9, to stabilize properly.
What is 62 grain 556 good for?
62-grain 5.56 is well-suited for target shooting, range training, and general-purpose use. The heavier bullet offers better stability and reduced wind drift at longer distances compared to lighter 55-grain loads, making it a practical choice for both recreational shooters and those training at extended ranges.
Is all 62 grain 556 green tip?
No. While green tip ammunition is typically 62-grain, not all 62-grain 5.56 rounds are green tip. Many 62-grain loads use standard lead cores without steel penetrators. Green tip specifically denotes a partial steel core with a green-painted tip for identification purposes.
What is the shelf life of PMC Ammo?
PMC ammunition has no expiration date. Properly stored rounds remain functional for decades. Keep ammo in a cool, dry place away from moisture and temperature extremes. Poor storage can degrade rounds within years. Manufacturers generally recommend use within ten years as a conservative guideline.
What is the best 62 grain 5.56 ammo?
"Best" depends on your needs. PMC X-TAC 62-grain is widely available and reliable for training, typically around $68 per box. For short-barrel rifles, Barnes Bullets 62gr TSX VOR-TX and Federal are strong picks. For hunting or defense, Black Hills also performs well. Match your choice to barrel length and intended use.
How much is PMC X-TAC 556?
PMC X-TAC 5.56 costs around $9.43–$19.99 per box for the 55gr variant and $16.69–$19.99 for the 62gr LAP variant. A 1000-round case runs approximately $478.99–$554.99. Three variants are available from 28 retailers, all currently in stock.
Is PMC Ammo made in the USA?
PMC ammunition is manufactured in South Korea by Poongsan Corporation. PMC America loads some 9mm domestically, but most PMC ammo sold in the US is imported. Check the box label for country of origin to be certain.
