Default PMC ammo ?

Anyone had any experience using PMC ammo? I see it listed at CheaperThanDirt, and
at MidwayUSA a lot. I've never tried it - yet. Just curious.

Virgina,
I have shot hogs dead in thier tracks with PMC .30-30 Star Fires.
You ought to see what they do to a hog.
I still have 3 boxes of them, just for hogs.
I normally shoot them with .35Rem, but have been using these
for awhile.

i have used the practice rounds by pmc. they are the full metal jackets. the 308's 147 grains are fare but the 223's 55 grains shoot real well. i believe they were 5 dollars a box.

Missed_another, PMC .30-30 Star Fire are solid copper with slits on the tip.
They open up like a rose and create a nasty wound.
FMJ's have a lead core. They are against the law in FL for hunting.

I buy up here for practice rounds. The 243 100 grains shot good groups in my 243 Handi rifle. The down side if you can call it that was that I chronographed some 30-06 150 grain PMC ammo and it was only running about 2600 fps. I quess thats about 300 fps behind the federal 150 grain Speer grandslams which clocked at 2940 in the same rifle.

rebel hog never used the star fire rounds but sounds like a good round though. i just use the fmj for practice.
