Is the IMI M193 ammo sealed? Yes it is. It has a tar mouth seal and a lacquer sealed primer....IMI is damn fine ammo

I've got a 1200 rd case of it coming Tuesday.To North Florida it was .31 cents per round delivered.That's a steal when Wolf Gold or Federal American Eagle is only .02 cents per round cheaper @ $290/1000 delivered.
I've picked up some Wolf Gold and Federal in the past month and that will be my range ammo.The IMI will be my stash/zombie apocalypse ammo. |

What's so great about it? What sets it apart from Federal or Wolf Gold? Quoted:
It's the best M193 on the market. What's so great about it? What sets it apart from Federal or Wolf Gold? Better accuracy than XM193. Much better for the same price. That and that it is just damn good. |

It's the best M193 on the market. What's so great about it? What sets it apart from Federal or Wolf Gold? i am guessing its more accurate due to more consistent powder load and more symmetrical bullet design. not sure how they get their projo's from though. |

That and that it is just damn good. I actually have rifles that prefer Fed XM193 to IMI. The fed has a slightly longer bullet so it tends to shoot more accurately in tighter twist barrels. According to Molon's tests, Fed and IMI m193 are around the same velocity. |

It would be interesting to see how this IMI M193 compares to the IMI M193 that was for sale almost a decade ago...
Specifically, is it the same low-flash powder and accuracy and fps comparisons... The old-school IMI was very low flash, perfectly assembled, full M193 power, and very decent accuracy for a military load. I could supply a box or two to a verified member with the equipment to test (like Molon tests of yesteryear lore...), but I do not have any new IMI M193... Do have some IMI 9mm coming my way though...

Remember, IMI stands for "Israeli Military Industries." I'm pretty sure IMI makes their own projectiles. It looks like the Israeli military likes 55gr bullets... |

Quoted:
GreyGhost: Where did you get the IMI - Widener's? Yes,Wideners.They are out now Yes IMI M193 and M855 is fully sealed. They are not out of it. ( and no I haven't called them ) Like most retailers they have pulled it of the "shelf", and are waiting to see what the market does. I have noticed this so many times that it is now just a fact of ammo life. I like Wideners a lot, but they do this from time to time.... as well as numerous other retailers. You will also see the "not selling well ammo" being sold for far more then it is worth. |

IMI XM-193 Ammo Test
Not only is it sealed, its WAY faster than any other 193 on the market |

Independence brand IMI may or may not be the same as the brown box IMI M193. There's several threads in this forum about it. |

Is IMI 5.56 the same as the Independence brand 55.56...says it's made by Israel Military Industry (IMI)???????
I was reading on SGAMMO.COM they say the Independence is made at IMI but from Federal Components. This is all very confusing on what is good and the right stuff and what is really not what it appears to be. thanks! |
