  • Gunny said:

    Will purchase more ammo from these guys. Thumbs up.

  • Paul said:

    It shoots 1&1/4 in groups. Someone a little younger should make it a little smaller

  • Dano said:

    Keep up the good work thanks

  • Blackfott said:

    Good rounds. Worked well for shooting. No jams . Good price. Will buy again.

  • Buddy said:

    Great product at a great price.

  • Brad said:

    I'll keep re-buying PMC 223 until I have a reason not to. They're priced nice and always work in my different rifles.

  • Jerryaa51 said:

    I was very please with that courtesy and knowledge the people that I have talked to.

  • Kim said:

    Good stuff

  • Joel said:

    This round was very consistent, very clean. I don't think you can do better for price in a brass cased round. Shooting in a Daniel Defense m4v11 they were flawless. Definitely ordering more.

  • Shooter magavin said:

    Have bought this ammo a couple of time and could not be happier

  • ammosmurff said:

    I've shot PMC ammo for years on the range, for .223, .45acp & 9mm, never had a misfire or failure to feed on any of my guns. Korean ammo is the only foreign ammo I'll buy!

  • J A said:

    I have not shot any of this ammo as of yet because it is down the line in my rotation. But I was comfortable purchasing PMC ammo as I've never had any bad ammo from the company. The price was right at the time so it was a good buy for me. I look forward to purchasing ammo from your site again, thank you...

  • Dave said:

    Very good ammo for the money! Reliable and accurate. Can't ask for anything more than that.

  • dkmatthews said:

    There's no doubting the quality of PMC Bronze. It's super reliable in every firearm. Thanks for a good deal on the case of ammo.

  • chris said:

    I have a remington Model 700sps varmint 223. with a bull barrel, n added a bipod, and a Barska 4-14 x 40 scope. i picked up a fiew boxes of the pmc bronze boat tail ammo in 55 grain simply because they wer only 7.25 for a box of 20. i was realy surprised on how consistant they wer. i placed 18 outa 20 rounds in a 3 inch circle at 150 yds. with a slight breeze. over all im realy pleased with this product, and will continue to use, an recommend this ammo.

  • Chief Gorilla said:

    Very tough exterior bag similar to some issue ammo during deployments. I see no issues that concern me. It saved me from doing my own storage prep.

  • Chief said:

    Performed well. Lots of rounds and no issues!!

  • Freakazoid said:

    This ammo is very consistent. Bench firing my Sako .223 I can put three consecutive rounds in a nickle at 100 yds. Love this ammo!

  • Al said:

    As good as Federal and a lot less expensive.......Federal is supposed to be the Cadilac of ammo.....well, PMC is equal if not as good or even better.....I am a user from now on.

  • BonzoDRmc said:

  • Hank said:

    Fired 200 rounds and the ammo performed so far performed well.

  • Greg said:

    Exactly what I needed. Now I just have to learn how to fire the weapon.

  • Pogo said:

    Consistent sub MOA groups with a Fulton Armory AR-15 A2, SS match barrel 1:9 twist. Compared to similar match loads by Black Hills, Remington and Hornady; factor of 2 improvement on accuracy with this Federal ammo. Ammo.com get more of this into stock!

  • USMC1 said:

    I have tried a number of rounds from flat base hollow point to ballistic tip's but I was not satisfied with the results. So, I tried the 69 grain BTHP match, I was very pleased with the results, much more consistent, however purchasing massed produced ammo for accuracy is not the way to go. If you shoot a lot, reloading your own ammo is the best way to ensure that every round is the same. I feel the value of the ammo is about average in cost. What I paid for the 40 rounds from ammo net including shipping I could buy the same at a local store, so not really a savings.
