No green paint. "ADI" and "12" headstamps. It's F1.
I'm not too bent out of shape about it. I would have ordered if it was listed as F1 anyway. It's still quality, brass-cased, reloadable 5.56 at 28 cents a round. I was just curious as to if anyone actually got the newer load. I haven't been able to search too much on the MV difference. Most places put both loads below M855. One source says F1 is higher than 855. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

That would actually be unacceptable, they clearly show F1A1, they will be sending a return shipping tag and a full refund if that's the case. |

I'm guessing that some will get F1 and some will get F1A1. The photos of F1A1 that bulkammo has posted were taken by someone...

Even though I haven't received mine yet I emailed them to let them know what folks were getting. I asked if the whole lot was F1 instead of what was advertised and she offered to send me a shipping tag to return it or keep it and get a $10 credit on my next purchase, no thanks you can have it back and pay the shipping both ways. Not impressed...

Some people are never pleased. It's not like they advertised ADI 5.56 and shipped Wolf .223 or some shit. They sold "Australian FMJ 62gr 5.56"(at half the price of anyone else). That's what I got. I can't complain, but I can see how others might feel otherwise. I now notice other vendors have pics of F1A1 but state "F1" in the description. Everyone must have received mixed lots.

Some people are never pleased. Pretty simple concept, wasn't what they advertised, so absolutely it's going back, on their dime. There are businesses across the globe who dream of customers like you when what arrives isn't what was purchased and you just say, oh well, no problem. The company does get points for taking care of the return shipping and will refund my full purchase price including the original shipping, my guess is this one is gonna cost them a few bucks since they used stock photos instead of one of the actual product. |

I already thanked you for posting the deal, which still stands, however you don't have to take personal responsibility for the deal not being quite what it was advertised to be. But the notion that something clearly different (albeit maybe insignificant to some) showing up not being a notable issue is non-sense. I also gave the company props for taking care of the issue without excuses, and like I stated unfortunately this ones probably going to cost them a few bucks.

One of the problems with M855 types is that the ~ 100 fps lower velocity gives it a shorter fragmentation range than M193 as it is. SS109 generally has even lower velocity than M855, making matters worse.
I can deal with the lower velocity of true M855, but cutting it even further as a lot of foreign SS109 types do (like F1) is not acceptable to me. I could just buy steel case or PMC bronze for general plinking ammo at a cheaper price. I want full power / performance 5.56 when I pay 5.56 prices. I passed up $0.30 / round shipped XM193 a month ago (which I prefer to M855 anyway), but decided to give this a go. I guess I'll wait till the black Friday specials to buy ammo now. I give them credit for resolving the problem without issue, however, their second option wasn't the best way to go. $10 off to spend on a future purchase? How about a $20 - $30 credit on this order right now to save them the time, cost, and hassle of having to ship it back? That's probably their profit margin anyway, and it seems like it would be a better solution, it's going to cost them at least that much to ship back, and then they have to worry about reselling it, etc. |

Can anyone verify the MV of this stuff? The only number I find repeated is 2969 out of a 20" and one source of 2935 out of a 16". Approximately 60FPS slower than M855. That's not too bad.

I'm happy with whatever I get. F1 and F1A1 are both way better than lake city from everything I've read, and it was cheaper too. It's obvious they were using stock pictures on their website and didn't double check what they were actually selling. Nowhere in the description does it say F1 or F1A1 so I don't know why anyone is complaining about false advertising. If you've ever ordered from Cabelas you know the picture almost never matches what you get when it comes to ammo.
Take a look at this review: http://www.shootingillustrated.com/index.php/29135/62-grains-of-excellence/ 0.67 moa average with the F1 |

I got one of each, but I'm ok with it. Ultimately, I bought it under the understanding of what is basically clean xm855 at less than x193 or .223 plinking ammo prices... and that's what I got. Plus the F1 stuff comes in an older, kinda cool looking can.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't actually prefer the older can. Totally understand those complaining but $10 off seems pretty ok to me - the shit was stupid cheap to start with. |

I'm happy with whatever I get. F1 and F1A1 are both way better than lake city from everything I've read, and it was cheaper too. It's obvious they were using stock pictures on their website and didn't double check what they were actually selling. Nowhere in the description does it say F1 or F1A1 so I don't know why anyone is complaining about false advertising. If you've ever ordered from Cabelas you know the picture almost never matches what you get when it comes to ammo. Take a look at this review: http://www.shootingillustrated.com/index.php/29135/62-grains-of-excellence/ 0.67 moa average with the F1 Impressive.. who wants to send me 30 rounds to verify?

Read this guys, its got lots of info on F1 Compare the two and decide. F1 http://www.australian-munitions.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ARM_AM_5.56-F1-A6-brochure.pdf F1A1 http://www.australian-munitions.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ARM_AM_5.56-F1A1-A6-brochure.pdf Interesting that they have the same specs for both loads. The only difference is they added the M16 and M4 as weapons the F1A1 was designed to function reliably with. Yet the minimum chamber pressure and muzzle energy are the same. Just an FYI(if my math is right): 405MPa = ~58,000 PSI minimum chamber pressure. A bit higher than .223 levels. So theoretically, if you're weapon cycles .223 it should cycle F1 without issue. 1500 j = ~1106 ft-lbs min muzzle energy; which would translate to 2830fps with a 62gr projectile. However, it doesn't specify range or barrel length for that minimum. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I got one of each, but I'm ok with it. Ultimately, I bought it under the understanding of what is basically clean xm855 at less than x193 or .223 plinking ammo prices... and that's what I got. Plus the F1 stuff comes in an older, kinda cool looking can. I'd be lying if I said I didn't actually prefer the older can. Totally understand those complaining but $10 off seems pretty ok to me - the shit was stupid cheap to start with. mine was a can of F1. youre saying that you got a can of F1 and of F1A1? |

Anybody send theirs back? F1 ball is ammo that used to go for stupid amounts of money not too long ago. Just Google around and check out the prices.

Mine was just delivered, I'll update this when I get home and open it up
F1 from 2010: 
Not at all disappointed, this stuff looks great, and bulkammo.com did a great job packaging it. That little cardboard box was WAY heavier than it looked

Even though I haven't received mine yet I emailed them to let them know what folks were getting. I asked if the whole lot was F1 instead of what was advertised and she offered to send me a shipping tag to return it or keep it and get a $10 credit on my next purchase, no thanks you can have it back and pay the shipping both ways. Not impressed...
