PMC BRNZ 223REM 55GR SP 20/800

Description

PMC’s Bronze line exists for shooters who want hunting-capable ammunition without paying a premium for it. The 223SP is built around a pointed soft point projectile, which means the exposed lead tip initiates expansion on contact while the jacket controls how that expansion progresses — a meaningful difference from full metal jacket loads when hunting varmints or medium game, where terminal performance matters as much as accuracy.

The brass casing is reloadable and uses a Boxer primer, so handloaders can run these through a sizing die and start over rather than discarding brass after one firing. That changes the true cost per round for anyone who reloads. The load is non-corrosive, so routine cleaning intervals apply without any additional concern about primer chemistry attacking the bore.

PMC — the sporting ammunition brand of South Korea’s Poongsan Corporation — manufactures this ammunition at facilities that also produce military-grade cartridges, and they carry that quality-control infrastructure into the commercial line. Each round undergoes inspection against consistent dimensional and performance standards before it leaves the factory. The result is ammunition that feeds reliably and delivers consistent velocity — at 3,200 fps muzzle velocity from a 24-inch test barrel — across a box, which matters when you’re dialing in a zero or working a field at distance.

With a ballistic coefficient of .222 and a sectional density of 0.157, the 55-grain projectile holds its velocity reasonably well at practical hunting distances and carries enough energy for clean terminal performance on varmints and smaller deer-sized game. Available in 20-round boxes and 800-round cases.
