308 - 168 Grain Sierra MatchKing OTM - PMC X-TAC Match - 20 Rounds

The X-TAC Match line from PMC is a great way for precision shooters to load up with match ammo at a low cost. These .308 cartridges use boat-tail hollow-point (BTHP) projectiles which resist drag in-flight as well as deviation caused by heat during travel. The bullets used in construction are Sierra MatchKing open-tip match (OTM) rounds which are the very same used by reputable companies like Black Hills and Norma; they also match the ballistics of top-of-line offerings by Federal and Hornady . These rounds will leave the muzzle of a 24 inch barrel at 2,700 feet per second with will experience a drop of 8.5 inches at 300 yards when zeroed at 200 yards. PMC is a South Korean manufacturer that uses their experience with creating NATO-spec ammunition to offer commercial exports at a great price point. Their products, noted for their reliability and consistency with military specifications, have expanded and evolved to non-military calibers, self-defense rounds, and match-grade precision offerings. PMC products are both imported from Korea and produced in Texas

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
