This round’s full metal jacket bullet weighs a little heavier at 62 grains. A 1:8” or 1:9” barrel twist will provide the best long-range accuracy, but don’t sweat it if you’ve got a 1:7”. The FMJ’s jacket has a cannelure to prevent bullet setback, and its tip is painted green to indicate that this is an M855 round. The front half of the M855 bullet’s core is made of solid steel. This hardens the bullet to increase its chance of fully penetrating sheet metal, which is helpful from a military standpoint. At the range, it only means that M855 ammo will damage steel plate targets.
PMC is part of the Poongsan Corporation, a metal fabrication, precision forging and ammunition manufacturing firm headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. This ammo is loaded with new brass cases; their necks are discolored because they weren’t polished following heat treatment at the factory. This new, non-milsurp and noncorrosive ammo is Boxer-primed and reloadable.
