Thread: PMC Ammunition

Anyone used this stuff? Fell off the back of a truck.

You can tell if anyone has used them, open the box and check a case - it will have a wee dent in the back end, and be empty inside

I'll have to try that, will have to pull all the projectiles to see inside the cases though

Bloody good stuff. I used the 130 GRN version for years. It's great brass too. Reasonably mild loading. You will notice the projectiles LOOK huge..I believe they are less dense than other brands. I used to snip the very top/ exposed lead bit off neatly as my old model70 used to beat them up in magazine if fired rounds above them. Yes very good stuff.

Notoriously slow, bit like the old Highland ammo. Still ok for close in work.

Ok inside 200yds.

Splutter splutter cough cough. Years back when I using the 130 grain stuff. I took shot at chammy doe,she was standing on pinnacle of rock across a snow covered shingle slide. I was zeroed 3" high at hundy and trimmed her toe nails with first shot!!!! I applied correct amount of Kentucky windage and dropped her cleanly with 2nd shot.... By my calculations that's close to 18" of bullet drop....she was a fair old distance away....still one of my furtherest shots on game.

That's ok, the old M70 is a gentleman's gun for gentlemanly strolls. As long as the projectile works ok? Kind of looks like a gameking but has a canelure

They work great.big and soft....

I used a heap of the 130 gn loads and still have 300 or so brass in use. Brass is very good. 130 loads were accurate and ran at about 2800 fps. Your 150s wont be setting any records but probably fast enough

Yeah they worked fine however, the old man and I only ever used them at bush ranges in the Longwoods, no issues there.

Privi Partisan, Partisan, Highland and I think PMC (Partisan Manufacturic Co?) were all tthe same factory or factory group so similarites are to be expected. Pretty decent brass. I had some in 6.5x55 from my fathers estate. Circa early 90s

PMC came from Korea.

I nailed a few deer using PMC 270 back in the late 80s it was ok grouped well, killed well for me in those days out of old BSA 270

Poongsan metal corporation, korea.

I have only used PMC with .30-30 and I was unimpressed with 2 failures to fire in each box of 20, across 3 boxes. It may have been an anomaly in that batch but that's just my experience. I have never bought it since.
