This is higher than the Lake City stuff that I'm seeing at 3165fps. Anyone know this to be false? I'm looking
for something to take a class running a JP Low Mass BC.

It is within the realm of M193

http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_16/511804_Attack_of_the__M193__Clones.html

Out of a 20" test barrel, M193 is supposed to have a muzzle velocity of 3,250 fps +/- 40 fps.

Well.... not even PMC's webpage says what barrel length they measured from.

Other things to consider... muzzle flash, accuracy, do you reload ( and would you be allowed to P/U your brass )

Reviews of X-TAC M193 have chrono'ed  in the true M193 range and considering it is Korean, I'd look at reviews of Q3131A1 as well, with the same accuracy.

Wow, 400 shipped... what a deal...

Good ammo, but not THAT good.

The PMC X-Tac 55 gr chronographs at 2905 from my 1-9 Rock River 16 inch and 2980 from my Spikes 1-7 CHF 16 in.  Both are chrome lined barrels.

PMC X-Tac 62 gr chronographs 2850 and 2885 respectively.

Chronograph was 15 ft from the muzzle.

Keep in mind the 3,165 fps velocity isn't muzzle velocity, but the velocity the round is supposed to block a certain distance from the muzzle.
