Description
A proven duty-spec load with a hardened edge. PMC X-TAC 5.56 NATO 62gr LAP (Light Armor Piercing) features the M855 “green tip” penetrator projectile—offering consistent accuracy, clean cycling, and the durability of a steel-core design for hard-use training and practical field work.
Overview
This 62-grain SS109-type round pairs a lead core with a hardened steel tip under a full metal jacket, resulting in greater integrity on impact compared to standard FMJs. Loaded to NATO pressure with Boxer primers, clean-burning powder, and reloadable brass cases, this is a workhorse load built for shooters who need dependable cycling and consistent downrange performance in 5.56 NATO chambered rifles.
Delivering a muzzle velocity of ~3,100 fps and designed around M855 specifications, PMC’s 5.56 LAP is excellent for AR-pattern rifles and ideal for range training, drills, or practical applications. Note: Steel penetrator bullets may not be permitted at all indoor ranges.
