I have a chance to buy a large amount of Independence XM1983I for about $.30 a round. Would this be good stuff to buy a put away?

Over the last couple years, I have probably shot through about 1k of it.
It is decent stuff, no complaints.
My rifles seem to like PMC XTAC much better though.

Went ahead and bought 1k rounds of it for $.33 per round. Thanks!

IMI XM193 is good to go. I've fired at least a thousand rounds of it with zero issues. It's good stuff.

It is XM193 spec ammo made in Israel and is inexpensive.  It does what 55gr 5.56 ammo is supposed to do.

IMO the biggest issues with it are the packaging (because it looks like ammo one would buy with food stamps)  and the low price.   I am sure if they doubled the price and put dayglow redneck deer hunting logos on the boxes it would magically be the next go to round for everything.

I'm kind of in the same boat. If you guys had to choose between that and Wolf Gold .223 what would you take ?

If they are both the same price, go with the 5.56
