Recent XM193BK experiences
4/2/2012 7:30:55 AM
My local fleet store has a few cases of XM193BK on the shelf stamped 2011 and 2012. In light of the increasing prices, I am tempted to pick some up for practice and SHTF, but am a little concerned with some of the older reviews. I did a search but didn't come up with anything recent on the bulk packed Fed/LC XM193BK. The old thread on the XM193PD seemed to indicate quite a few issues. Any insight if the issues have been resolved with the newer ammo?
Thanks,
Mike

Personally I think it is the chambers on some of the rifles, and not the ammo, but that's me.

I've been through 2 and 1/2 cases so far this year of XM193. No problems. Its not the most accurate, but I can still get 2 MOA 10 round groups at 100 yards with a T-1 on a SR-15.

Pretty consistent 2, sometimes 2.5 MOA. The range is built like a concrete bathtub, so there's no wind, lighting kind of sucks though. Its always way too bright.
