A local store has a case of Fed AE223 55gr.That is all i am told it says.I was looking for Fed XM 193,that everyone is always talking about.I normally use win 3131Q but wanted to try Fed.How does This AE stuff stack up?

Its not as fast as Q3131 nor XM-193.  This is Federal's budget .223 ammo, and its loaded to SAMMI specs.

It shoots fine, I find it more accurate than South African or any of the other 'surplus' ammo.  A great round for plinking or target shooting.

Not the kind of ammo you store in bulk for the ravaging hordes of orcs or such...

I agree, the Fed AE223 is great plinking/practice ammo!
