So far I have only used PMC's fmj rounds for target practice with my .40 cal. I have shot 150rds through it so far and have not had one single issue. Every round has fed, fired, and ejected properly. Does anyone else have any experience with their ammo? Seems pretty great so far. I have bought the 50rd boxes at big r and they sell for $20 there. So thats $0.40 per round, doesn't seem to bad to me.
I have used PMC in several different configurations - 9MM, 38SPL, 45ACP and 5.56 and never had a problem with any of it. Good buy for the $ for target practice. The only thing I don't like is that it is not US made.
I went through a bulk order of PMC 45ACP a couple years ago and it had no issues with it using my old 1911 and Taurus Mil Pro. The powder burns dirtier than the domestic stuff but not as bad as Wolf or Tula.
The dabs I've used over the years seemed enthusiastically robust when fired, especially their .22 Long Rifle ammo and some did chronograph to yield velocities a bit higher than most other brands. Don't know recall details and don't have my notes at hand.
I shoot PMC in .45 and .223 I can't say I've never had a problem. I had ONE misfire in .45 which was no big deal. I still buy it and still shoot it often.
I don't run it all the time but I've probably shot a few hundred rounds in different calibers and it always works. I even have a few boxes of hollow points, not because they are amazing but because at my LGS it's like 10 bucks for a box, so what the heck.
No problems when I've used PMC ammo. It does tend to be dirtier than some other brands, but I don't consider that a problem since the gun gets cleaned after shooting.
I purchased and used some in .223 this past weekend. It ran fine in my AR carbine. It did seem to recoil a little softer than 5.56mm PPU I was using also. I've read before that it maybe a little under powered vs. 5.56, but have no real evidence to support that.
I personally have used PMC FMJ as my target ammo for my handguns and as my target/defense ammo for my AR-15 rifle and never had any reliability problems with it.
I've used PMC for .45, 9mm, and 5.56 and never had any problems. It tends to leave a bit more residue than say...blazer brass or something but it's not bad at all. I ran it in my .45 for a class some time back and burned almost a half-case in a day with no cleaning until the end of the day and it didn't give me any problems.
I don't see it much in my area but I haven't looked for it. I have used it in the past because it was less expensive than some other brands. Never had a problem with it. Usedit in 9mm and .38SPL. No hesitation to buy it when availabe.
PMC FMJs are also my preferred brand of reserve ammo for my handguns and my AR-15 rifle, although I mainly use Remington Golden Sabers HPJs on both my .40 and .45 pistols.
I use there .223 for 3 gun and have no problem with it and very accurate out to 200 meters!
