PMC Ammo? quality?

[longbow]

Wife came home with a box of PMC ammo. Is it any good?

 

[Panama]

I bought a case the other day. I think it is as good as it gets, for what it sells for.
You can spend more money for higher quality, but for general use, it is very good!

Ran 100 rounds this morning without any difference between it and other non-match stuff.

 

[longbow]

have to get some more

sounds like an endorsement to me.......

I've used some I got from MC Sports, and it was priced very well for new manufactured brass cased stuff, and it functioned flawlessly

I have ran alot of PMC in 9mm through one of my pistols and have never had a problem.

 

[obijohn]

i've shot thousands of rounds of pmc in 9mm, 5.56, 7.62, .45 and others and had nothing but good results. some of the .45 brass was loaded many, many times.

PMC in .223

I've seen .223 PMC ammo at Meijer for $9.99 per box. Do you guys know where I can get a better deal than that? Who has a good deal on it on-line?

Last month MCSports had it for $6.99, but their restock was going to be at $8.99.

I might have a line on some case lots of PMC 223. Probably ~$375, if I can get it.

I haven't used any since I started reloading many years ago but never had any problems with it. I still have several hundred cases that I have reloaded since the late 80s and they seem to be fine. For those who are unfamiliar with PMC it is a South Korean operation that got their start recycling tons of artillery casings that we left over there from the Korean War. They melt it down and remanufacture it into small arms ammunition. In other words, they are selling our own brass back to us. Gotta love those Koreans.

I read that as

Poontang Metal Corporation

at first lol. Man, i need to get my mind out the gutter

Never had a problem with PMC centerfire ammo, so when I saw a deal on PMC .22LR I ordered up a few thousand rounds (hey, 10 bricks is still a small box! ) Any when it arrived I was a little surprised to see the boxes marked "Made in Mexico". That was the first warning. The stuff is so wax coated that even my garbage disposal rifles choked on it. Ran some through one of my Ruger 10/22s and found little flecks of lead on my shooting mat. Measured the bullets and found them just a bit oversize.

Plan on sticking with the Korean centerfire ammo and recommend to everyone to stay away from the Mexican made rimfire stuff.

PMC is what I use 80% of the time through my AR. I like it.

 

[m_deaner]

I've used their 9mm and it shoots fine, but it's not the best for reloading. The primer pockets are too tight and the brass length isn't consistent. At least, it wasn't consistent on the lot I bought.

I thought it was Presicion Metallic Cartridge, but looking at their website it says Preceision Made Cartridges. Go figure? Oh well, the stuff shoots great, they can call it Wham Bam Sweet Poonsang for all I care.

PMC... IRC, this was the brand that a gunsmith who runs his own board (shootertalk , TLee) found to be two piece brass, at least in .357sig.

Seems a customer was shooting this stuff and the case head separated. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that it had been assembled in two pieces. Terry pulled bullet, primer and powder from one of the shells supplied, and sure enough, it was a two piece case.

I've avoided the stuff ever since seeing that.

You might section yours to see if it's one or two piece...

I really am doubting this is true, is there a link we could follow that has information? I can't find anything on Google and I'm not joining a board to verify this. It would seem that someone else would have been all over this by now, stuff like this really travels in the gun circles.
