I dont think Ive ever shot for groups with m193. I know better. I use it because its cheap and cycles well. I use privi for the same raseon. That said, I would have never guessed it was that erratic. Informative as always. Was this boxed or bulk?
How about a similar test with AE223? Its another one of my favorite low priced, yet reliable, ammo choices. |

You suck at shooting. My Olympic AR shoots 0.5 MOA with M193 all day long. Yeah? My Oly can do it all day long offhand...at 200. Frickin' posers 
Screw grapefruits, I measure MY three shot groups with M193 by shooting at grapes.  Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

If xm193 is that loose. I wonder what wolf and Brown bear is? Thanks for the info and helping me with my internet commando-ness. I am curious also what the average group sizes are for the steel case stuff ? I want to see Hornady training TAP. In 75 grain.

I am curious also what the average group sizes are for the steel case stuff ? I want to see Hornady training TAP. Hornady's 75 Grain Practice Ammunition Hornady’s 75 grain practice ammunition uses a Berdan primed, steel case instead of a brass case to reduce the cost of the loaded cartridge. The round uses Hornady’s 75 grain BTHP bullet with a cannelure (referred to as the T1C here on AR15.com.) The round is charged with ball powder and has a muzzle velocity similar to Hornady’s 75 grain TAP FPD. Fired from my 20” Colt government profile barrel with a NATO chamber, a 10-shot string had an average muzzle velocity of 2,646 fps with a standard deviation of 9 fps. 
The steel case employs the heaviest amount of bullet-pull I have ever encountered in a 223 Remington case. I was unable to remove a bullet from the case using Dillon’s kinetic bullet puller, so I chucked a Lee collet bullet-puller into my reloading press and attempted to pull the bullet. I still couldn’t get the bullet out of the case! At that point, I had to resort to more primitive means to get the bullet out of the case. 
I tested the accuracy of the 75 grain practice round following my usual procedures. Using a free-floated 20” Colt HBAR and shooting from a bench-rest from 100 yards, I obtained three 10-shot groups and over-layed them on each other using RSI Shooting Lab. The 30-round composite group had a mean radius of 0.47”. While not as accurate as Hornady’s 75 grain TAP FPD, accuracy was on par with the 75 grain 5.56 TAP load.

Using quality ammo will result in better shot groups. I shoot mainly 5.56 surplus or .223 commercial loads. A friend of mine has a large stockpile of 5.56 75 gr. TAP. Every time I use this in any of my ARs, the shot groups noticeably improve in all instances. I only wish I was the funds of Daddy Warbucks like my friend. |

High quality ammo, tuned to your rifle, at a fraction of the cost. Problem solved. |
