# Anybody out there got any experience with ammo from PMC corp.?  A friend
# gave me some rounds for self defense.  They were marked
# PMC 44 S&W spl  and they are VERY hollow points,I dont know if they're
# jacketed at all, their bullets are copper colored (they may indeed be
# copper for all I know or some copper colored alloy) and have no posts like
# a hydra shock.  My friend swears they are hot stuff for a self defense
# round but I know nothing of PMC ammo and this style of bullet.  Maybe they
# are fully jacketed hollow points with the jacketing having a copper color.
# Thanks for all postings here or reply rsl@well@uunet i.e. rsl on the well

I used to use a lot of PMC back in the early to mid '80s.  I liked it and used
to use it to accumulate a stock of cases for reloading, since it was cheaper
than the domestic brands (it is or was Korean).  I used mostly .45ACP and
.38Spec.  If it hasn't changed appreciably since then, I wouldn't have any
qualms about using it.  It DID seem to be a bit hotter than other ammo too.
