I've read pmc stands for pan metal corp. I've also read it stands for precision metalic cartride...which is correct or something different?...not that it really even matters, just curious. thanks!

"PMC" has stood for several things over the years. You are both correct, depending on the time period being referred to.

Known names used under the "PMC" title are:

"Poongsan Metal Manufacturing Company"

"Poong San Metal Company"

"Precision Made Cartridges"

Distributors in the US were:

"Patton & Morgan Corp. of New York"

"Pan Metal Corp. of Los Angeles"

It seems as though they liked the way "PMC" sounded and crafted the various names to fit it!

And while most PMC ammo has been South Korean manufacture, they have also sold South African ammo under the PMC name.
