I can get some Federal LC M855 with the ss109 bullet
                    OR
some Federal LC XM193 FMJ for about the same price.

What do you guys think is the better round ?

I use mostly for range work and would prefer the one with better accuracy.

Thanks

whats your barrel twist? I found IMI M855 to be most accurate in my 1:7 AR's, but XM193 more accurate than Santa Barbera SS109, so it all depends which ammo YOUR rifle likes best, buy both and try them.

Get some of each and see what your weapon likes.  Niether are match grade and in my experience not much different under 100 yards (in my rifle). Both are good.  Half the fun of this sport is trying different stuff out and discovering what works best for you.

Do not ask that question you will be scolded.....For long range (500 yards)I choose M855 out of those two.

Dont really care wich round!

But since my Defender 2000 has a 14.5 barrel I might load up with M193 after my Black Hills75/77gr is gone


BTW I found SANTA BARBRA SS109 to be the most accurate SS109/M855 EVER
Out of 2 LMt M4s 1/7and a Bushy Shorty and a Bushy 20hbar 1/9

S&B ss109 is second 3184FPS @ 25y  SD14 Hotter than M855 SPECS

Win M855 was the worst  but it was surplus of links and looked rough

LC & IMI M855 seem the same in my AR15`s
