20 Rounds of 77gr OTM MatchKing .223 Ammo by PMC

Many manufacturers choose Sierra’s acclaimed MatchKing when they want to load match grade ammunition. PMC is certainly one of them, which is why their X-TAC Match series 223 Rem ammo features the same bullet which has won more competitions than all other companies’ bullets put together!

This round’s bullet doesn’t just excel at conserving downrange momentum because it is so massive at 77 grains. The open tip match bullet’s nose cavity indicates that its core was poured into place as molten lead. That doesn’t enable the bullet to deliver terminal expansion, but it does make its weight more evenly distributed – the key to keeping the bullet’s narrow meplat trained on its target. The MatchKing’s jacket is so concentric that you would need a microscope to detect any irregularities, which only promotes even better rotational stability. Every MatchKing bullet’s overall weight is also standardized to ±0.3 grains, which ensures that each cartridge in this box of 20 will attain a muzzle velocity very close to 2,790 fps (out of a 20” bbl).

If your sights are set 1.5” high, then you can expect this round’s 0.372 G1 BC bullet to sink to -8.3” 100 yards after clearing a 200-yard zero. And if you handload, then you’ll appreciate the high-quality brass cases your rifle spits out after each shot you fire.
