Description
The PMC X-Tac 5.56 NATO green tip cartridge has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable rounds available today. Loaded with a 62-grain projectile featuring a steel penetrator core beneath the full metal jacket, these rounds match the performance characteristics of standard military M855 ammunition. Each cartridge is seated in premium brass cases with a non-corrosive boxer primer, making them reloadable and suitable for handloaders looking to stretch their investment.
Battle Pack Storage and Protection
What sets the X-Tac apart from loose ammunition is the thoughtful packaging. The 120 rounds come vacuum-sealed and wrapped in a high-density polymer sleeve designed to withstand rough handling and keep moisture out. Inside the battle pack, rounds are organized in standard PMC boxes for easy access and quick restocking between range sessions. This setup strikes a practical balance between portability and protection, making it ideal for someone who shoots regularly or wants reliable long-term storage.
Performance and Ballistics
Firing at 3100 feet per second with 1323 foot-pounds of muzzle energy from a 20-inch barrel, the X-Tac 62-grain green tip delivers a flatter trajectory than lighter loads while maintaining excellent velocity downrange. The steel core provides superior penetration compared to standard full metal jacket rounds, which is why many shooters prefer the 62-grain weight for training that mimics real-world dynamics. Because of the steel core, these rounds will not work at indoor ranges that restrict magnetic ammunition.
Quality You Can Count On
PMC has manufactured this ammunition to the exact specifications demanded by military and law enforcement users worldwide. The consistent brass casings, precise loading tolerances, and reliable primer ignition mean you'll get dependable feed-and-fire performance across your AR platform without worrying about misfires or extraction problems. Whether you're running practice drills, working on accuracy, or simply maintaining your shooting skills, the X-Tac delivers the kind of no-nonsense reliability that makes range time productive instead of frustrating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use PMC X-Tac green tip ammunition at my local indoor range?
Many indoor ranges restrict or prohibit green tip ammunition because the steel core can damage steel targets and baffle systems or create ricochet hazards. Before bringing this ammunition to any indoor facility, check with the range first to confirm their ammunition policy. It's always better to ask than to show up unprepared.
Is the PMC X-Tac 62-grain round reloadable?
Yes. The brass cases are marked as reloadable and feature boxer primers, making them suitable for handloaders. However, note that reloading typically yields reliable results for approximately five cycles per case before the brass shows signs of fatigue, depending on your reloading process and equipment.
How does the 62-grain green tip perform compared to the 55-grain rounds?
The 62-grain green tip is heavier and provides a flatter trajectory with better velocity retention at distance. The extra weight also makes it more stable in flight, particularly from rifles with slower twist rates. Many shooters prefer the 62-grain for training because it more closely mimics the performance characteristics of actual military-issue ammunition.
What makes the battle pack different from regular ammunition boxes?
The battle pack combines six internal 20-round boxes into one sealed, vacuum-protected package wrapped in a rugged polymer sleeve. This design protects ammunition from moisture and rough handling during storage and transport while keeping everything organized and accessible. It's especially practical if you shoot frequently or want reliable long-term storage without worrying about individual box damage.
