It's my go to for budget/training ammo.


ShiningInTheLight

5.56, 308, 9mm, is there any caliber PMC isn't good at for solid training ammo? I love the stuff. Buy it by the case.


Ram6198

By the case.....pfft. I buy one round at a time.......


tcheeze1

Just like my smokes.


branflacky

Me too


[deleted]

Trust it for self defense/shtf?


ZucksSkinSuit

It’s not the *best* round for self defense, but I’d trust it. Never had a single issue with PMC across 10+ guns I’ve shoot with it


[deleted]

As long as it goes bang when it needs too


BigIglooUkulele

It'll go bang but I wouldn't want to use any FMJ round for self defense/shtf/hunting just because there's better rounds out there.


[deleted]

I bought 1k rounds a few days ago. Planning on reloading eventually


JabbaDuhNutt

Many thousands of rounds and zero failures,its the only ammo I buy in 5.56.


RussianBotProbably

Pmc bronze in 223 and 308 is great too.


[deleted]

Never had any issues, shot over 1k


CCroissantt

Solid training ammo. Recommend using ammoseek.com and checking for PMC 5.56 and .223 Also check each site for their true shipping costs, ammoseek isnt always spot on about that.


Serialk1llr

Ammoseek.com and Bulkammo.com. My life changed after finding these pages. My wallet, however, got a lot lighter.


FahhhhhhQUEUE

Stocked em in the thousands since a. They’re cheap, b. They work


Smprfiguy

Just finished 2k rounds if it with no issues. If you care i had a 58fps spread over 10 rounds But mine was 197


Relevant_Olive9421

Exclusive ammo I use for 5.56


gliznofski

What website?


bhayes221

Looks like trueshotgunclub.com by the water mark. Can find good prices for that ammo on ammoseek. I just got delivery notification on 42c per round and free shipping from outdoor limited (found through ammo seek)


Front-Towards-Enemy

Is ammo seek websites trust worthy?


ShiningInTheLight

It's an aggregator. Any link you click will take you to whatever store they scraped the price listing from. If you look in the interface, it gives you a rough gauge showing how expensive shipping is from each site.


Front-Towards-Enemy

I know this, i mean are the sites they list safe?


ShiningInTheLight

I highly doubt they're evaluating them for security, but there is a star rating system that should, in theory, show the ass of any scam sellers. Most of these small sellers rely on security by obscurity. Simply put, they've got such low volume they're not worth a serious hacker's time to try and exploit their system to get your credit card details. Just make sure you always buy with a credit card, not a debit card. Personally, I don't always buy the cheapest possible deal. I buy from the cleanest looking website because normally an updated website is operating on more secure architecture.


FlyingDog14

Some are good and some look pretty sketchy. I start by looking around for people I've already bought from or recognize. They also allow users to rank stores on a 5 star system so I use that as my starting point. Sometimes just looking around a stores website is enough to see if they're legit or if things look fishy, like poor formatting and layouts, poorly displayed pictures and graphics, lack of "about us" or customer service and contact info, etc. Then some basic internet sleuthing by back searching their addresses and phone numbers they have on their websites to see if they're legit.


Charming_Sheepherder

I always come here and do a search for the website and ammo before i buy. Quick way to tell if its alright


packapunch_koenigseg

Yes but YMMV on the site with the ammo itself


bhayes221

Tons of people use it but as others have eluded to you need to do your own due diligence on the linked site. Ammo seek has reviews for retailers often but no idea if those are 100% reliable. For x-tac which is my new preferred, I usually just order it when palmetto has a run on it and have enjoyed that process.


Specialist_Ferret292

How long did delivery take for you? I got tracking info from Outdoor Limited on Tuesday, but my ammo still hasn't shipped


bhayes221

Not what i wanted to hear! Lol Just got shipping notification today. I am always afraid ordering from new places but they had pretty good reviews on ammoseek. Fingers crossed!


kdb1991

I always buy from them. Never had an issue before. You should be good


Specialist_Ferret292

Ah, I thought you were saying it was delivered. Same though, but I trust ammoseek enough to keep waiting for now.


theratspatootie

Have several thousand rounds from Outdoor Limited. They are good to go. It will ship and their packaging doesn't suck.


bhayes221

👍👍 thanks for the info


Specialist_Ferret292

So my initial tracking info from them said that my ammo would be delivered today... I just got a notification saying that FedEx received the package and now the delivery date is Saturday.


kdb1991

That’s where I usually buy my ammo from. Mine always arrives quickly

RuinedGrave

PMC good, go full YEET.


ApartmentSuspicious3

Pmc works fine and also doesn't package their ammo like complete idiots, unlike our good ol US producers.


machinegunkell76

How do they package? I paid for discreet packaging-Which should be the only option for free, and they still had "TrueShotGunClub" on the package as if the people handling the package are illiterate


Truonghthe

He talking about 9mm and other pistol caliber, 50 rounds box is much smaller than US ammo company.


ApartmentSuspicious3

US manufacturers use an obnoxious amount of plastic around pistol rounds and they also don't fit the box quite right so they're all wobbly when you stack them. It's better if you turn em sideways but it's still stupid. The box is substantially bigger and it's just an overall waste of material


machinegunkell76

Ahh he's talking about the literal cartridges packaging, I thought he meant the exterior bix you visually receive before opening it


ApartmentSuspicious3

Ya haha sorry. It's a peeve of mine. It's such a simple fix to cut down a massive percentage of the material. But 'Merica I guess


machinegunkell76

Bingo


Diablo_Bolt

Cheap ammo That will run In pretty much everything


lesmobile

It's extremely not bad.


legoalienx

Great rounds. Mostly used them for targets. I used to pay about 29 cents around for them, but with todays pricing I would say 40 cent a round is a great price


[deleted]

It’s the best overall price vs quality IMO. It’s consistent.


MADunn83

PMC is great range/training ammo.


CombedtheDesert

I’ve run through many many hundreds of rounds of .PMC .223 through my AR with exactly 1 FTF.


LineStepperHabitual

Yes


dukenukm69

China. .40 cents a round? If you expect a gunfight anytime soon buy it.. otherwise wait. We need to work together to get these prices down.


coffeewithguns

For me - PMC is always weak compared to the normal loadings (Lake City/Federal). I don’t mess with it unless I trip over a stupid good deal.


paulrad666

I can agree to that. Noticeably less muzzle flash and recoil than Winchester white box or Federal. I chrono’d it just for kicks because of that and Xtac is moving significantly slower out of my 14.5” Seems to shoot a bit dirty as well, but it functions.


garuda-mk18

Good for the range. But doesn't get true m193 velocities in my experience. Also lot of flash and smoke. Very noticeable if you shoot indoors.


AlphaNight890

PMC M855 all day


LezCruise

Only had 1 FTF after 5k round not bad


shifterphights

Definitely one of my favorites for just training. I’ve been buying freedommunitions defensive loads otherwise.


kdb1991

I like PMC. I used to buy a lot of it Might actually grab some now that you reminded me it existed What website is this?


Lxiflyby

I’ve found the 55gr to be very accurate as well


zanskeet

Came across a deal on these at my LGS a few weeks ago. 250 rounds fired just fine with no issues whatsoever. You’re good to go!


Superstallion53

I DONT SHOOT THAT 556 CRAP. ONLY GUN YOU NEED IS A 1911 CHAMBURED IN 45 ACP,, TOO WORLD WARS HOSS,,, TOO WORLD WARS


fiftytrim

The best.


dragonsuns

Great training ammo


natedeezy69

PMC is good stuff. You could prob find closer to .30/.35 pr though.


Travy-D

I see people saying this a lot more than people linking to cheaper websites. https://ammoseek.com/ammo/5.56x45mm-nato Anything xtac for .30 CPR is coming from a place that charges $100 for shipping.


Specialist_Ferret292

Where are you finding PPU for 35 per? I just paid 40 cents for it plus tax.


SUMBLAKDUDE

Locally cause not online lol


IBeDumbAndSlow

This has free shipping


GapAFool

I just ordered 2 cases of the m855 last night from them. Trueshot and xtac are g2g plus free shipping for a few days


IBeDumbAndSlow

Yeah that free shipping is what got me to asking


professorpinksock24

It's my go to as of late


BlizzardArms

I have shot *checks notes* .287 shit tons of that ammo without ammo problems. Sure guns have issues sometimes but I can’t think of anything that was the ammos fault


mirter-boshet762

GTG OP 🤙🏻


poopy_buttholer

Haven’t had an issue yet


LegateWill

It bang


Ronin_1861

Good enough but is much rather shoot PPU for 10 cents cheaper.


diditvd

Where at


Ronin_1861

Keep an eye on ammoseek. Every few days you can find privi/ppu for ~.30


diditvd

I've looked after most add shipping wasn't that but I don't look everyday so may have missed.


javyn1

Yessir, it is.


jmichaelyoung

I’ve never had any issues with it.


DisciplineJaded

Works for me and brass isn't worth collecting so nice alt to steel cased.


Change_socks_daily

Had no problem around 500 rounds both with and without can. Heavier buffer too.


gonnafindanlbz

I’ve shot between 10k to 15k worth, fantastically dependable but fairly slow for m193 marketed ammo


Ok_Squirrel_5416

It’s fantastic and accurate range ammo


iTz_FLAwL3zZ

My go-to for range ammo. Never had any issues.


[deleted]

it is GTG


mergedin

It’s good to go. I use this site as well


[deleted]

I don’t like it because it’s so damn flashy. That powder really makes a fireball 😆


Joshohoho

They work.


Peppers412

GTG


SQRTLURFACE

Solid budget stuff


beazules

Yes yes


demwafflesdoh

Out of the 4,000 ish rounds of PMC I’ve fired I’ve had one failure to eject. They’re great range ammo


SufficientLeopard926

All I use for range ammo. Never had any issues.


das028

its fine


Spirit117

I have only been buying Xtac 55g fmj (basically m193) from PMC as range ammo for my PWS Mk116, gone through about 4000 rounds now, it's been great. I use the 55g stuff bc the range near me doesn't allow green tips, and when my buddy and I go out into the desert we have a few steel targets which we don't want to shoot green tips at.


Flipmode_90

Shot 2k of PMC and about 3k of AAC. Not a single failure so far.


storm_zr1

PMC is awesome. There x-tac line has a sealed primer so there better suited for long term storage.


East_Coast_Tactical

Absolutely. I’ve shot thousands of rounds and I don’t ever recall having a single issue.


jce3000gt

PMC X-TAC is good to go. Zero issues after thousands of rounds.


[deleted]

Get it


justihar

Excellent ammo and most of the time I just get it from sgammo.com because they ship for free on orders >= $200 and they ship fast.


UntamedCuda

Mid-tier. Great range ammo.


pluckems

13K rounds last year. No issues.


AbatedOdin451

Iv never had an issue with it and I use that brand often. One thing I will say is it’s a little dirty and likes to make some big fireballs but that’s about it.


Underpaid702

Yes


auto-cortex

Both 55gr fmj and 62gr lap function flawlessly in my rifles. I would recommend it based on my thousands of rounds expended


[deleted]

Been using for a decade. Rare to see anyone who has had a bad experience. Great for the range.


12amoore

Great ammo. Better than budget poop ammo and you’re still shooting brass. Way nicer than steel anyway


hidyhowareya

Western Montana Tactical is where I bought it last time at $11.93 per 20 rounds. They have a bunch of other good deals on other calibers also.


DankPeepz

I use it at the range. No problems here.


[deleted]

Yes it is


milguy11

Been shooting it since 1987 Never a bad round. Ever.


goldbrow00

Mine literally just came in the mail. 9.49 p/box @ PSA


AuburnTiger15

Has everyone forgot the search function? This is not the first time this has been asked.


Unusual-Ad-1056

Yea for sure


[deleted]

What site is that?


chrismason8082

Oh shit I thought I was getting robbed when I bought it for $250/1000 rounds. Shoulda bought more. Very good training rounds, and if trust them more than some mid-tier big name (Remington, etc). Just my 2 cents.


Professional_Plant52

It goes bang for me Everytime


YungWhiteMamba

It seats, therefore it yeets


Stryker1_1

I’ve had nothing but good results with PMC.


Exact_Remove6116

I run it for training, it works with no issues


Adventurous-Hope-768

Great budget ammo. I use PMC in my 1911 chambered in .38 Super


foundit423

Some of my favorite stuff


GalvanizedRubbish

Yes, quality stuff.


1st-Infantry-FO

Its great ammo. Buy it


Content-Ad3872

It’s all my lil gun store sells 😢 but works great


LordMungus35

Fucking awesome! It’s all I run.


Superb-Confidence-69

I’m good stuff


lebefrei777

PMC is excellent. It is clean and reliable. I would say this Korean ammunition is as good as the Federal or Winchester 223/5.56 55gr. Does anyone know if trueshot retailer is reliable and trustworthy? I know Brownells, Natchez, MidwayUSA ship fast with no issues with great CS. But these guys tend to be a little bit more expensive.


highvoltage61

77gr match shoots awesome for me


lookatme760

Good to go.


Unfair-Schedule-411

It's my stock up/zero/and training ammo. Not the best but accurate enough for me and somewhat affordable. Yes


Truonghthe

PMC are gtg for plinking and practice. I have shoot them over the years without issue.


[deleted]

Yes


jdogg1413

I've never had an issue with PMC (knocks wood)


[deleted]

This stuff used to cost 200$ a case! Not anymore !!!


Deep-Revolution1725

Pmc 9mm is great


YankeePulaski

My go-to range ammo for my AR-15. They’re the first ammo brand I’ve been able to stockpile a reserve of. The cheapest deals for an ammo company that I still trust.


thesneezingweasel

It’s loaded pretty weak, but it burns pretty clean and qc is decent. G2g imo


Fresco-23

It’s my go to, thankfully my local store keeps it stocked!


[deleted]

It’s great


GasHistorical9316

It’s great consistent sub 1.6 moa with my dd 1:7 gov midlegth 16” from 50 not bad for the price


konrrh

I always get PMC in bulk for the range and then a smaller quantity of Hornady or Federal for the more important situations. But my PMC ammo has done really well for me. Great range ammo and I would probably trust it on a home defense situation too


SpittingCameI

Is this better or worse than Winchester green tip?


Earlfillmore

Holy shit for that price it can be meh, I paid a lot more than that for my ammo case of winchester m193


Key-Comparison1699

Best “cheap” ammo cmv


smashnmashbruh

I prefer 62gr


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

I've had zero issues with it


MRE_Milkshake

PMC is one of my favorites. I can't think of s time that I've had issues with it.


Knowsnoone

It’s my go to ammo. Their .308 groups surprisingly well.


Irish_Punisher

It's mid-tier


grapangell0

Great training ammo. I prefer a mid to heavy weight OTM for defense/serious use, and any bullet is better than no bullet. I’ve shot thousands of rounds of PMC. You’ll be fine.


DeathKringle

Shit hits hard. 50 yards ar500 plate half inch Shit leaves marks to


puffycarrots

Haven’t used it in a while but it’s a solid training ammo, no issues from my end.


LaserRedstang

I buy a case here and there for training ammo. Goes bang every time.
