I was sold this ammo as it being XM556FBIT3M Federal FBI Duty Trophy Bonded Bear Claw ammo.  If you look at the headstamp, it is : "PO 14 223 REM".  Anyone know what "PO" is ?  Did I get dupped?

PO.  FC.  Who can keep it all straight?

I have never seen the FC get closed off like that, but I don't have any experience with that load.  Blurry pic doesn't help either (unless it's just my phone being a pain.)

Looks exactly like the google result I get searching that

The cartridge collector website says PO is Spanish?  Not sure about that one.


All the same headstamp?  Buy it second hand?

Your right VinnyElCamino. I used duck duck go and did not get the same results.  When I used google.com, I get https://bayoushooter.com/threads/223-fbi-load.152392/.

Now sure why it looks like a PO and not an FC.

The M at the end notates factory seconds. The FBIT3 duty ammo is 5.56, not 223.

FC not PO

The headstamp bunter got a little sloppy.

60 cents a round is great, right?

Says FC for sure, as previous poster said sloppy bunter. Looks legit.
