Series high shooter generally gets promoted, not everyone who shoots expert.

You can get PFC as part of your contract

Each series has X amount of promotions to PFC and Lcpl. They are divvied out by the Company, Series, Bn and sometimes the Regt CO. They are generally given to Guides, High shooters, Squad Leaders and PFT High score. To make Lcpl you'd have to be a contract PFC.
