Im not exactly sure about the projectiles but they are loaded to .223 specs.
Its stupid how they are packing the 5.56 and .223 in the exact same boxes. I was at cabela's last week and i picked a few boxes up and it took me a few moments to realize it wasnt the 5.56 verison, yet its in the black american eagle boxes. There have been several topics on this in the last week. Here is a LINK to mine, where i have pictures and a quick accurracy evaluation. |

Does this mean that Federal is going to discontinue the XM-193 now that they are making the AE223 line again?

Federal's website sys AE223 (55g) is loaded to 3,240 fps (I assumetha is a 20" bbl).
http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/rifle.aspx?id=69 Those are definitely M193 velocities. The bullet is a FMJ BT with cannelure. The only difference I see between this and M193 are lack of crimped primer, and different case dimension (5.56 v. .223). The stuff I have puchased recently shoots like a full power load. Anyone chronographed it yet? |

Thats most likely a 24" to 36" barrel, I gurantee you its not 3240 fps in a semi auto 20" barrel

You have a point. Their chart shows the test barrel is 24". The 4" loss of barrel will result in a 150-200 fps loss. That still puts it within 75 to 125 fps of M193. Not too bad, especially for the current prices. I just bought 900 rounds of it (on stripper clips) for $281.00 shipped.
