Hi,
I have a preban Colt slab side that has .223 marked on the lower receiver and 5.56 marked on the barrel.
Can I shoot 5.56 ammo through it ?
Thanks, John

The simple answer is yes, you can shoot 5.56 ammo as well as .223 ammo through your rifle.

Is $100 a good price for 500 rounds of Federal/Lake City XM193 55gr ball ?

That's OK but you can do better.

Ammoman ([url]www.ammoman.com[/url]) has current production Lake City XM193 and Q3131A for $199/1000 delivered.

Wholesale Hunter ([url]http://www.wholesalehunter.com/privatespecials/bargdes/winchester_usa_5.htm[/url]) is running a special on Q3131A (same as M193) $164.50 plus shipping /1000 but they may be sold out.
