PMC X-TAC 7.62×51 147gr ammunition review
PMC X-TAC 7.62×51 147gr ammunition review.
I received several boxes of the PMC X-TAC 7.62×51 test ammunition from Ammo For Sale . Normally I would incorporate ammunition in a firearm review but I do not have anything chambered in 7.62×51 coming up to review so I thought I would try it out now and see how well it worked so I would know for any reviews coming up. I do have a few rifles chambered in that caliber that I know how they shoot so I figured they would be solid platforms to use for testing the rounds.
I started the review off with a Springfield M1A
Savage 110 Tactical to see how the rounds printed as well as reliability.
The M1A printed just over 3 1/2″ 5 shot groups at 100 yards with iron sights while the Savage printed 1 1/2″-2″ five shot groups from a rest. Those are typical groups from both rifles using quality factory ammunition.
The PMC X-TAC performed well without malfunctioned and printed some solid groups. At $16 for 20 rounds, they are a solid choice for range, match, and/or duty use.
