It runs a little slower than SA surplus, but it's good plinking ammo. Don't bother to save the brass. When I got my first AR, I put 500 rounds of the American Eagle through it without a hiccup. |

Three shots under an inch at 100 yards with my KNIGHT'S M-4.

I have settled down to AE 223/55 and XM-193 ammo. Have put around 2,000 rds of AE 223 thru my DPMS A2 Classic without any issues.
Don't have chrono on it, but I estimate it's about 8%-10% cooler than XM-193. I find it consistent in quality, and I can paint out the center of a 12" Shoot-n-see with irons at 100 meters with it...good enough for my purposes. |

Federal Eagle .223 was 2847 +/- 23 fps from my M4 Carbine (14.5" bbl).
This compares to genuine issued M193 Ball (WCC 78) of 2998 +/- 25 fps. Call Federal 150fps slower from this barrel length. (30 round samples corrected to the muzzle and standard day). -- Chuck |

We chronoed the 55gr FMJ American Eagle at ~2850-2900 from my 16" M4 BM and oddly at ~3000-3100 from my friends Stainless Mini-14
78 degrees F and ~60% humidity |
