PMC is the slowest I have tested out of both 10 and 16 inch barrels.
Hell, it is slower than 154 Wolf out of a M92 PAP. That said, a few of the premium offerings are also under 2000 fps. FWIW, I got a 1916 fps average from 20 rounds...which matches up nicely with what you saw. |

The local Wal-Mart competitor has it on clearance. I come back every week waiting for it to drop another 15-25% before I buy more, just wanted to make sure it was the norm :D |

PMC is almost always slower in just about any caliber.

To me it seems that Russian (and maybe the other ex-soviet) 7.62 Chrono's faster than other ammo. The US, W. Europe, Korean etc 7.62x39's all chrono slower. Did you ever chrono the PMC in a 16" barrel? I'd bet it's slow in a full sized rifle as well.
Also I think I recall seeing a test that showed that some ammo did significantly better than others in the 10" barrel; I think I remember brown bear doing awful but then wolf having little performance loss vs. a 16 gun. |

PMC is almost always slower in just about any caliber. In particular the "Bronze" line of ammo. PMC's XTAC line is much better... although I have never seen any XTAC 7.62x39. |
