Shot 250 rounds of XM193 bulk pack at the range today and had 5 ftf's.The primer did not look like a light strike.After the rounds sat aside for awile,I loaded all 5 in the same mag and all 5 fired the 2nd time around.I know,not the safest idea but I was curious.The rifle was a Bushmaster Varmint Special with about 300 rounds through it.Any thoughts??

No,it is the 1000 rd. loose-packed XM193BK.Lake City brass,production over-run or I have read that it may have not passed QC for minor problem.

usually a ftf is mag related. Was the mag fully seated when it happened?

Your saying the primer was hit but it didn't go off right?

Did they look like a good primer strikes? Have any problems with any other ammo?

What's the lot number? I have some XM193BK coming in tomorrow.

I just opened up a box from Northwest Shooter Supply. XM193BK.  They adertise as new loads.  Actually seems to be remanufactured, several small case dents and dings in box.   All head stamps are LC but several different versions.  Anyone else have experience with this ammo?

Just found this post.  Makes me feel better.
