IMI is some of my favorite ammo in 5.56 caliber. I buy it whenever I can!

Quoted:
Got 1200 rounds yesterday. 5 shot group at 100 yards in AR was 1 1/2 inches. GTG. Sorry, no pics. should we just guess the weight? or does it make any difference? 55? 62? 69? 77? 1278,4? |

1200 rounds would be the 55 or 62gr cases i am guessing. what lot number is the key! it all seems GTG now. maybe all the bad lots got pulled from the shelves. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Apparently their packaging is varied and they produce a wide variety of weights as well. I've seen better results with their 55 than their 62 but that is quite normal, nonetheless i would like to know which it is. For 855 that's very good, for 193 it's just pretty good and for 77 that borders on sucks. |

Anyone know the bad lot numbers? I have some XM193 that flattens primers. No other pressure signs though and I know IMI has a reputation for being hot.

More info. 55g M193. Lot #00267/G. Headstamp "IMI 16", with a "1" on each side. Weapon was 20" 1/12 twist, 4x16 Burris, match trigger. 100 yards from sandbags. Lake City M193 shoots very similar size groups, although the IMI was about 1/2 inch left and 1/2 inch high. Rifle shoots right at an inch with 52g handloads. Also, shot 2 mags rapid fire from 16" PSA with Eotech. 3:30 ejection pattern. All hits on steel at 25-35 yards. No function issues. Will be shooting more if it doesn't rain Wednesday.

You're welcome, Bill. I do have another 1200 rounds inbound. Got it ordered right before Midway stopped the sale. Between that and the Federal rebate .223 from PSA, I'm good on .223/5.56 blasting ammo for this year. Loading a bunch of pistol ammo now. If I didn't already have a bunch of components on hand, I'd probably just buy new factory ammo and save the brass.
Being retired and having 3 ranges on my property is keeping me busy! |
