PMC XTACM 223REM 77GR OTM SIERRA BT

Description

PMC X-TAC Match is built around the Sierra MatchKing projectile, a bullet with a long track record in precision rifle competition. The open-tip match design is not a hunting or defensive configuration — it exists to deliver the consistent ballistic coefficient and concentricity that tight group sizes demand at distance. At 77 grains, this bullet is on the heavier end of what .223 Remington can comfortably seat, and that weight pays dividends in retained velocity and wind resistance as range increases.

The ballistics data from a 20-inch barrel puts muzzle velocity at 2,790 fps and muzzle energy at 1,296 ft-lbs, with a ballistic coefficient of 0.372. Those numbers translate to a relatively flat trajectory out to 200 yards and a manageable 8.3 inches of drop at 300 yards when zeroed at 200. That trajectory profile suits the shooter who wants a single consistent zero for practical mid-range work without needing to dial constantly.

Brass cases, Boxer priming, and non-corrosive construction mean this ammunition can be reloaded once fired — relevant for precision shooters who are already weighing and sorting components. The cases are worth keeping. This is a 20-round box, which reflects the match-grade positioning: it is range and accuracy work, not a bulk training load. If your barrel has the 1:8 or faster twist needed to stabilize a 77-grain projectile effectively, this round gives that barrel something worth feeding.
