Description
The PMC X-TAC Battle Pack delivers 200 rounds of quality 5.56 NATO ammunition built to military specifications. With a 55-grain full metal jacket boat-tail bullet, this is the classic M193 profile that's proven itself in everything from duty applications to range days. The boat-tail design gives you better ballistic stability and flatter trajectory compared to flat-base rounds, which translates to more consistent hits as distance increases.
What Makes X-TAC Stand Out
PMC manufactures this ammunition to the same exacting standards used by the South Korean military and NATO forces, so you're getting mil-spec consistency without the military price tag. The ammo runs clean thanks to premium primers and powders, and you won't deal with corrosive residue after your range session. Each round sits in reloadable brass with boxer primers, so if you handload, you're getting usable brass back into your stash.
Battle Pack Packaging for Storage and Transport
Instead of a single large box, the 200 rounds come as ten sealed 20-round packages wrapped together in a high-density polymer sleeve. This vacuum-sealed design keeps moisture out during long-term storage and makes it easy to grab just what you need for a range trip without cracking open an entire case. The packaging is tough enough to take a beating in a range bag or truck bed.
Ballistics and Real-World Performance
You're looking at a muzzle velocity of 3,270 feet per second and 1,306 foot-pounds of energy, giving you that flat trajectory you want for general-purpose shooting. The round shoots to around 1 to 1.5 minutes of angle in standard rifles, which is solid performance for practice and training work. It chambers reliably in all standard 5.56 NATO rifles and runs smoothly through AR platforms without hiccups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PMC X-TAC ammunition reloadable?
Yes. The X-TAC Battle Pack uses brass cases with boxer primers, which makes the spent casings reloadable. Many reloaders prefer PMC brass for its consistency and durability. Once you fire the rounds, you can sort and reload those cases for future shooting.
How does the boat-tail bullet design affect accuracy?
The FMJ-BT design provides better aerodynamic stability than flat-base bullets, resulting in a flatter trajectory and less bullet drop at distance. Most shooters see around 1 to 1.5 minutes of angle accuracy from standard AR rifles with this ammunition, which is solid performance for training, practice, and general purpose use.
Will PMC X-TAC work in my 5.56 NATO rifle?
Yes, it's designed to function in all standard 5.56 NATO chambered firearms, including AR-15 platforms and other rifles. PMC manufactures to NATO specifications, so you get reliable feeding and consistent performance. Always verify your rifle's chamber specification before shooting.
What's the advantage of the battle pack packaging?
The vacuum-sealed ten box format gives you flexibility without committing to a full case. You can keep the ammo sealed for long-term storage without moisture worries, or grab a couple boxes for range trips. The high-density polymer sleeve protects the ammo during transport and storage.
