200 Round Case - 223 Rem 77 Grain SMK OTM Match Ammunition PMC Ammo - 223XM

I tried a few boxes of this ammo [X-Tac Match 77 gr .223] to compare with several other 77 grain .223 and 5.56 ammo I had. Knowing PMC X-Tac in other loadings [62 grain] shoot very consistently, I figured this would be a good choice. I tested it against IMI 5.56 OTM 77gr, and Hornady .223 75 gr match, all of which shot very accurately in my Daniel Defense DDM4V11 Pro. Results: the PMC 77 gr was the most consistent, most accurate, and made the smallest groups of the bunch [.5 MOA or better at best, to 1 MOA at worst]. Interestingly, it also shot 1 MOA low compared to the others. The stated velocity on the box was the same as the others [I did not test velocities of any of them..], so I can't explain why it was consistently low - a quick twist of my scope put it right on target, so wasn't a big deal. I suspect it may not have the velocity of the others. Either way, it was super accurate and consistent in my 18" CHF barrel, and was really nice to shoot - a good fit for my gun. Definitely worth a try, but don't be suprised if it shoots a little low for you too. Had the same 3" drop at 200yrds as the others, starting from its 100 yrd zero - or 4" drop total from the IMI ammo zero. This ammo is now my most accurate ammo I've tried in my gun, and I would highly recommend trying some to see what it may do for you. Every gun is different, as you know...
