Both the same. I have bought I and shot a load of it from two 14 1/2 BMs a 16" BM and a 20" Colt. All 100% good. BTW, it's same ammo the only difference is the way it's packed. Ammoman sells it in bandos and a can. SG used to have online coupons. I will check. You might want to read this first----http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=109&t=335943 If someone could make this link lhot for me I would appreciate it, |

I have read the thread on ammoman. I would rather not have this thread be converted into a bash ammoman thread. I have been ordering from him for a long time, and although I am not a devout follower of his, I will continue to order from him when he has something I need.
Back to the ammo. They can't be the same ammo, as one is made by winchester, and the other by federal at lake city. Or am I wrong? Troy, do you have any personal experience with these? I know there is alot of speculation as to the origin of the ammoman stuff, but that does not concern me. Only how well it functions. |

Both has the same specs. Here is a musicial example: the note(s) "A sharp" and "B flat" have difference names; however sound-wise both are the exact same "tone". |

Man, for a 17 post non paying member you sure are cocky. Buy it from Ammoman. You should get along fine. |

lol, thats funny.
cocky? not sure how you got that. Just stating facts in a non biased way. I have seen the ammoman thread posted in response to many non related threads in the ammo forum. Give it a rest. You seem a bit defensive. Thin skinned perhaps? |

BlueMushrooms, Thanks for the reply. I understand they are both loaded to the M855 spec, but that does not make them equal. I am just looking for some feedback from people who have experience shooting them. |

So Lake City M193 is the same as Wolf M193, because they are loaded to the same spec, right? |

I post a simple request for a range report, and this is the type of BS response I am subjected to? WTF are you? Your post count is high, and mine is low, so this gives you the right to come onto my thread and be an total ahole? Is that it? Let me make this clear to you markm. If you have nothing useful to add regarding the original ammo question, DONT BOTHER POSTING. Got it? |

Whoa! Calm down, Tiger!! There's no need to start getting all violent and such! Step back and count to 10. We like to keep things loose around here. Even though you're high strung, it doesn't mean we won't get along fine. I don't judge anyone on their post count. I was against Goatboy's decision to put it back under the usernames. |

optionstrader, don't worry too much about MarkM. I've been here for just a short while and I've come to find out that markm is like this on almost every thread on ar15.com.
 I don't think he actually means anything by it, he's just the resident smart-ass. -X |

I hear ya. The problem is, this thread is trashed now, and there is no way I will get any useful responses regarding the original question, because legitimate posters will now have to wade through all the BS. If people want to act like babies, they should hang out on the GD, not the ammo forum. Thanks though. |

Same spec like everyone stated... M855 made with the 62gr SS109 developed by FN. Good stuff... shoots great out of all 1:7 to 1:9 barrel. May want a heavier grain if you're running 1:12 or higher. As for who makes what... well, LC is really no longer making ammo per-say. Federal currently is using up all the left over LC stuff and finish it all up. Nothing wrong with either... Windchester's probably using more current production brass/bullet to manufacture their ammo. ~nb |

Alright, Asswipe! It tried to be pleasant with you. You'll notice that I have indeed paid for a membership here? Funny you're so worried about wasting bandwidth yet you're the one with the M855 vs. M855 thread.  The truth is one of them is 87 percent better than the other. And I'm not telling you which!I appreciate that you're embarrassed for asking a monumentally retarded question, but quit barking orders like you own the place. |

Hahahahaha. Man you really should control that temper of yours. LOL You are just a little kid trying to play a big boys game. Get a grip dude. It is pretty sad you can't seem to grasp the fact that just because it's labled M855, its not all the same. Haha. To the mods of this board, now that markm the little boy has gotten his way and trashed this thread, you may as well go ahead and lock it. It's useless at this point. Either way I will be moving on. To the reasoned posters, thank you. |

Wow, I'll answer optiontrader's question. I have both of these M-855 "frontline ammos" it shoots identical from my experience. I have 6 AR-15s 4 have the faster 1x7 twist rates (Colt & LMT) 2 are RRA 1x9. The boxed stuff whether LC, Winchester or IMI is excellent ammo that shoots 2moa on average for me. Troy has posted on the other M-855 thread on current production. If you sort out M-855 PD the performance is the same (3-5% defects). If you are looking for clean shiney ammo, the IMI M-855 stands out. IMI is not currently available due to demand over there, hopefully it'll be coming back. The boxed ammo is good for storage & use in case there is a Red Dawn. At $300.00 a case it's not everyday stuff. Hope this helps.

Bought some from ammoman and it shoots great and was accurate in both my guns.. I believe the date was 2002 and it was still sealed in the US containers.

OK, I've shot about 2000 rounds of the ammo from the sportsmansguide, the discount on the ammo has paid for my "member's only" dues. It seems to be a good price for the ammo and it gets delivered quickly.
That being said, it is M-855 PD and I've never chrono'd it so as to consistancy of FPS, I can't say. I have pulled and discarded maybe ten rounds from the whole lot. I have afew boxes in my safe yet to be sorted as well. I'm dissapointed that they don't include a "free" ammo can in the price anymore... But, I think that it is prolly better ammo than I can shoot out of my iron sight ARs. I have 1-8 and 1-7 twist barrels and it seems to do about the same from both 16" barrels. For me (YMMV) it is worth the price with the "member's only" discount thrown in. It seems to be about 10 to 20 bucks cheaper that way than anywhere else, including fun shows. efxguy |

It comes two ways at Sportsman's Guide; on bandeleers and in boxes. In boxes, 250 rounds can be purchased. How many rounds come in a box (obviously not 20)?
