Description
The PMC X-Tac Match 50 BMG 740gr Solid load, item 50XM, is a 10 round box of 50 BMG ammunition from PMC, loaded with a 740 grain Solid bullet rated at 2830 fps with 13337 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.
PMC X-Tac Match 50 BMG 740gr Solid Overview
PMC X-Tac Match brings match-grade bullets to the X-Tac line. Open tip match bullets with a high ballistic coefficient hold velocity well and resist wind drift, which makes these loads a good fit for precision shooting, long-range practice and competition at a lower cost than many premium match loads.
Bullet Design
The solid brass bullet is machined as a single piece, giving excellent consistency and a very high ballistic coefficient. It holds velocity extremely well at long range, which is ideal for extreme long-range shooting with the 50 BMG.
Intended Use
X-Tac Match is built for precision shooting at known and unknown distances. It is a solid choice for working up dope on a new rifle, long-range practice and local matches.
Firearm Compatibility
This ammunition is made for rifles chambered in 50 BMG (12.7x99mm), such as Barrett, Serbu, ArmaLite and other single-shot, bolt-action and semi-automatic 50 caliber rifles. Check your local laws, as some states restrict 50 BMG rifles and ammunition.
About PMC
PMC, short for Precision Made Cartridges, has built ammunition for decades and is based in Houston, Texas. Its lineup covers practice, training, match and hunting loads for handguns and rifles, with a focus on consistent, dependable performance at a fair price.
Recoil and Shootability
The 50 BMG produces heavy recoil and a very loud, concussive blast. Most rifles use large muzzle brakes, so shooters and bystanders need good hearing protection, and a solid prone or bench position is essential.
Choosing This Load
X-Tac Match makes sense when accuracy is the priority. Use it to zero a precision rifle, gather data on your rifle at long range, and compete without the cost of hand-assembled match ammunition. Consistent bullets and powder charges help keep groups tight and velocities uniform.
About the Cartridge
The 50 BMG was developed for the M2 Browning machine gun and later adopted for long-range rifles. It is the largest common centerfire rifle cartridge available to civilians and is used for extreme long-range target shooting.
Brass Cases
PMC loads its centerfire ammunition in boxer-primed brass cases. Brass extracts reliably, resists corrosion and can be collected and reloaded by handloaders, which adds value to every box you shoot. Collect your fired cases at the range if you reload, and sort them by headstamp and caliber for easy processing later.
Range Safety
Always wear eye and ear protection, confirm the correct ammunition for your firearm before loading, and keep different calibers separated in your range bag. Treat every firearm as loaded, and know your target and what is beyond it.
Practice and Testing
Shoot a few groups with this load to learn where it prints in your firearm, and check function with full and partly loaded magazines. Keeping a consistent supply of the same load makes it easier to track your progress over time.
Storage and Care
Store ammunition in a cool, dry place in its original boxes, away from solvents and lubricants that can contaminate primers. Inspect rounds before loading, and set aside any with dents, loose bullets or corrosion.
