This cartridge is loaded with a 55 grain full metal jacket boat tail bullet. Although we acknowledge the military’s effective use of the FMJBT, we must emphasize that there are far better choices for home defense. An FMJBT just can’t provide the terminal expansion which mitigates the risk of over-penetration. But it can feed smoothly, and thanks to its boat tail it can retain more downrange velocity while simultaneously resisting wind deflection. No steel in this bullet – it cannot attract a magnet.
PMC’s Bronze label ammunition is made in South Korea and packaged specifically for the commercial market. This ammo’s virgin brass cases promise reliable feeding and extracting in any kind of semi-automatic firearm, and they’re reloadable thanks to their non-corrosive Boxer primers.
