There were some navy sailors at the range loading singles off stripper clips. I showed them how to use the spoon, it blew their minds.😂 It’s great they offer this.
We tested this ammo today at the range and got good velocities in the middle of the normal range at around 3160-ish for the M193 (556XMB) and 3050-ish for the M855 (556KMB). Based off testing other products this is pretty decent, not too hot and not too cold either. IMO the middle of the range is where you want to be for best. New video coming next week for that test

Is this essentially just their XTAC ammo just in clips or is it more comparable to Winchester M193? Just want that maximum load if in gonna buy it in bulk.
It is Xtac packaged in a different way. I am not sure what you mean by comparable to Winchester. Winchester / Lake City M193 and PMC 556 55 grain XP193 are basically the same thing, the only difference is that PMC water-proofs the cartridge with primer sealant and black lucas in the case mouth, a step Winchester cut out on Lake City commercial sales material m193 ammo
@@SGAmmo_LLC thank you what i was meaning is that last time you did a comparison between Winchester's M193 and PMC Xtac, the Xtac seemed to be around 100 fps inferior to the Winchester from the same length barrels and many commentators were stating that PMC has recently "nerfed" the performance of their. 5.56 rnds. That's more or less what i was alluding to. Didn't know if these were hotter loads or just standard Xtac. Correct my ignorance if I'm wrong. Im just seeking some education on the matter.
@@Innawoods7614 The test variables and lot to lot variation in manufacturing can make a lot of any perceived difference between real world tests.

IMO that extra 100 FPS comes with a lot of potential negatives that can lead to major weapons failure, the real important attributes of ammo are reliability and accuracy, it just does not matter if projectile hits the target at 2800, 2900, 3000 or 3100 FPS as long as it is on target and works every time you pull the trigger. If you are looking for M193 ammo at the upper end of the velocity range, you might want to check out the CBC military contract ammo we have right now
If you watch the full video, it presents both M855 62 grain (556KMB) and M193 55 grain (556XMB), there is also SKU # 223AMB which is not in this video but the same packing configuration in a 223 rem 55gr FMJ
@@SGAmmo_LLC Thank you. After watching this and then seeing another video you made, I realized they do have a M193 version. I was aware of the 223 offering, but am not interested in that. When paying a premium, might as well get 556 over 223. I should have specified 55 gr M193 rather than just saying 55 gr. By the way, I really appreciate that you take the time to reply to comments on your videos.
@@2AToday I like all 3 types, I thought they were all good options for the factory to do and have their place. Personally, I like the 223 Rem version from PMC for range / play time with it is slightly lower pressure and velocity, which makes it easier on the gun when it comes to wear / tear / and eventually breaking parts, extends the life of the firearm, and its slight more mild in recoil. When I shoot my more expensive guns for recreation I figure its better to go easy on them. I know a lot of guys want the hottest / fastest / most energy they can squeeze out of this caliber, but there are some long-run pluses to shooting the 223 Rem load as well.
@@SGAmmo_LLC Reducing wear and tear when just practicing or having fun is a very valid consideration. I've never really considered that. But for me (personally), I can only afford to stockpile a limited amount. That financial limitation means everything I buy has to be considered 'go to war' ammo.
@@2AToday Well hopefully it does not ever come to that here in the USA but I guess you never know. To me these are sporting products made for recreational shooting.

SG doin the lords work
These bandoliers don't have the pull string like in the US Army issue bandoliers that once pulled, allowing you the storage of loaded AR magazines.
These bandoliers are made to hold a full 20 round magazine.
Great idea and great product. the PMC rounds good rounds.
Does that tool work on Pmags?
yes, it works the same, Pmags are cut to accept the military clip loading tool
That loading tool is the new P38 (military can opener)!
Man, I wish I had money for ammo right now

What the price for 55gr and 62gr?
it ranges by 55 and 62 grain, and by quantity but 50.9 to 52.9 cents per round. This product can be viewed on SGAmmo.com
They need to do this with 55 grain. M855 sucks.
