Just saw this:  Is it new from PMC?

http://www.targetsportsusa.com/pmc-x-tac-match-223-remington-77-grain-open-tip-match-ammunition-p-3990.aspx

Anyone had a chance to use it yet?  It is a bit more expensive ...24.00/20...than the IMI stuff which is 16.00/20.

3100 FPS?  That's gotta be wrong.

That's moving faster than my 68gr BTHP from a 24" bbl...

Won't compete at those prices.  There are too many other options that are cheaper/better for the money.  Just my guess.

WAY too hot for 77gr. IMI is pushing it at 2800-2850 with theirs.

For Real. $1.25 a round. Wow.

I can load high quality  match 77gr .223 at .38 a round using varget and 5.56 loads at .38 a round as well using TAC powder.

WIth TAC I'm pushing 2850 fps with 24.4 grs. Lose accuracy from 24.4- 24.8gr

Yeah there's no way those are moving 3100 fps at 77gr. The Hornady Super Performance 5.56 75gr are super hot (known to blow primers) and they are only moving at 2910 at the muzzle.
