Frequently Asked Questions
Is PMC X-TAC 5.56 NATO safe to fire in a .223 Remington chambered rifle?
PMC X-TAC is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, which operates at higher pressures than .223 Remington. While .223 Remington ammunition can be safely fired in a 5.56 NATO chamber, firing 5.56 NATO ammunition in a rifle marked only for .223 Remington is not recommended, as it may exceed safe pressure limits. Always check your firearm's chamber markings and consult your manufacturer before using 5.56 NATO rounds in a .223 rifle.
What does "LAP" mean, and how does the 62-grain bullet compare to standard 55-grain loads?
LAP stands for Lead Alloy Penetrator, referring to a bullet construction that features a steel-reinforced or dense lead core designed for improved penetration through intermediate barriers compared to standard full metal jacket (FMJ) projectiles. The heavier 62-grain projectile also delivers a higher ballistic coefficient than the lighter 55-grain M193-style load, meaning it retains velocity and energy more effectively at distance — making it a preferred choice for tactical training and general-purpose rifle shooting.
How should I store PMC X-TAC ammunition to maintain its reliability?
Store PMC X-TAC ammunition in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations. A sealed ammo can or dedicated storage container is ideal. Properly stored, factory rifle ammunition can maintain reliable performance for many years. Avoid storing ammunition near solvents, oils, or chemicals that could degrade the primer or propellant over time.
