What is the difference in the following ammo? Remington umc 7.62x39 MC = Metal Case PMC FMJ = Full Metal Jacket and what is the difference in the purpose of each of them. Looking at 7.62x39 I find several boxes of each at 20 for 7.99 fmj PMC 20 for 15.99 mc Rem. and is the price difference more than just because of the name? Thanks

Re: What is the difference in the following ammo? Just a quick guess, but perhaps the PMC is made in a friendly, neighborhood, former Soviet Block country by desperate, starving workers and the Reminington in the good ol' USA by OVERPAID Union workers?

Re: What is the difference in the following ammo? OK, a quick check reveals sorta accuracy...PMC is a Korean company. I'd buy the cheaper stuff...assuming the bullet weight is the same, then they're both the same thing. Even if there is a very slight bullet weight difference, they are both FMJ, ball ammo, so again I'd go with the cheaper stuff. Be sure to test fire some of it!

For half the cost, go for the brass cased PMC.

Yes. Sometimes in Pistol you also run into TMJ....Total Metal Jacket - thus the base of the bullet is fully covered - no exposed lead base.

Re: What is the difference in the following ammo? Can't go wrong with Remington. You know you can trust their products.

Not sure if it's true, but a dealer told me PMC is no longer in business. They had legal issues with Remington, I think. Anyhow, you could buy the PMC for target practice and save the Remington for TSHTF scenario. :wink:

Re: What is the difference in the following ammo? I used to shoot PMC at the range I went to. I didnt think it was too bad at all. Better than the Magtech crapola they sell now.
