PMC X-TAC Match 223 Rem ammunition wouldn’t be the worst thing you could choose for home defense, but this round’s open tip match projectile really isn’t intended for personal protection. It’s a Sierra MatchKing, and it’s 100% designed to supply startling accuracy!
The MatchKing’s nose cavity is not designed to trigger expansion, which puts its terminal ballistics right on par with those of a standard FMJ. First the bullet’s jacket was drawn to a ±0.0003 concentricity standard. Then molten lead was poured through the narrow opening its tip, thus creating a form-fitted and highly rotationally stable core. The result is one of the most balanced competition bullets on the market.
This round’s bullet isn’t the heaviest you’d find in a 223 Rem, but it sure comes close. The 77 grain projectile conserves momentum so effectively that its G1 ballistic coefficient is very high at 0.372. If your rifle has 1.5” high sights, the OTM’s trajectory to 200 yards will rise no higher than 2.0”. (Note that PMC recorded this round’s 2,790 fps muzzle velocity with a 20” test barrel.)
Premium reloadable brass cases, uniform Boxer primers, and carefully measured propellant charges – all featured front and center in PMC’s match grade tack drivers!
