The PMC X-TAC 5.56x45mm NATO 62gr Green Tip LAP (brand part no. 5.56K) is NATO-spec rifle ammunition built around an M855-pattern steel-penetrator bullet, the load military and law enforcement units run when they need consistent performance. PMC loads the 62-grain LAP (Light Armor Piercing) green tip to full 5.56x45mm NATO pressure in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive boxer primers, making it a dependable choice for duty-adjacent range training box after box. Among rifle ammunition, this X-TAC load earns a spot in the range bag of any 5.56-chambered AR shooter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this safe to shoot in a .223 Remington rifle? This is a full-pressure 5.56x45mm NATO load. It is safe in rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Wylde, but it is not recommended in rifles chambered specifically in .223 Remington, which are built for lower pressure.

Is this the same bullet as military M855? It’s built to the M855/SS109 pattern with a steel-penetrator core, the same general construction used in military and law enforcement 5.56 ammunition.

Is the brass case reloadable? Yes, the boxer-primed brass cases can be reloaded multiple times with standard reloading equipment.
