Finally got in a case of MEN M193. Just to note, I felt very unstable and rushed today on the firing line for some reason. I think the ammo would shoot better if I weren't having an off day

. . . so I can't say whether they're the exact same bullet found in the "M193" load. The bullets I pulled averaged 54.9 grains. Maybe mcantu will pull one of his bullets for comparison. |

"Is it 55 grain or 56 like the box says?" Like the man asked -- and how can it be 5.56 if the bullet is 56 grains? |

You mean like the 5.56mm 62gr, 64gr, 75gr and 77grOTM ammo is. Because diameter is diameter, that's why. You could make a 150gr 5.56 bullet if you want. It wouldn't stabilize worth a shit but you could do it. Edited: Because I forgot I wasn't in GD. My bad. |
