PMC X-TAC 5.56x45mm NATO 62gr Green Tip LAP | M855 Spec | 556K | 20 Round Box

PMC X-TAC 556K is loaded to M855 (SS109) military specifications with a 62 grain green tip Light Armor Piercing (LAP) bullet at 3,100 fps. It's the same load issued to NATO forces for the M16 and M4, so it matches military ballistics for training, zeroing and qualification. Brass cases and Boxer primers make it a dependable, reloadable choice for AR-15 shooters who want true mil-spec green tip performance.

Background

PMC has built ammunition since the 1960s and is backed by Poongsan Corporation, a major South Korean defense manufacturer that supplies military ammunition around the world. The X-TAC line brings true military-specification loads to civilian and law enforcement shooters.

M855, also known by its NATO designation SS109, became the standard 5.56 NATO ball round in the 1980s. Its 62 grain bullet has a steel penetrator in the nose over a lead core, and the green tip is the military's way of marking it. Compared to 55 grain M193, the heavier M855 bullet is built for better penetration of hard barriers at distance and works best in faster-twist barrels like 1:7 and 1:9.

Because X-TAC is loaded to full 5.56 NATO pressure, it should be fired only in rifles chambered for 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde, not .223 Remington-only chambers. Some indoor ranges don't allow steel-core or steel penetrator ammunition, so check with your range before you go.
