Even before the price of ammo went crazy, I was buying XM855PD. For target shooting I did not see a need to spend extra money on M855 or other 223/5.56 ammo. After purchasing almost 10K rounds of XM855PD I have never had a problem. In addition, I have yet to find a bad round. Now with ammo prices going through the roof XM855PD is a good deal (if you can find it) compared to the ostuff available. As an added bonus my Colt M4 with a 1/7 twist loves XM855PD. I really do not understand why people complain about XM855PD. Who cares if the brass is not new and shinny. Ken |

all my cans of Lake city are non PD and still dont much care for it! Ive had Better accuracy in all my AR`s with S&B ss109 and Santa Barbra SS109 there is a Dr at my range who buys the PD stuff all the time without issues After shooting Blue box 77 and MK262 out of my Defender 2000 M4 14.5 1/7 twist I find myself wanting even more |
| It was great at the old prices. I bought 2K rounds in August for around $400. Wish I would have bought more :( It isn't the prettiest ammo but it shoots fine in my ARs with good accuracy for what it's intended for. If I want more accuracy I choose ammo designed for that purpose. |
Which is exactly why I don't shoot it. I find Radway Green a LOT more accurate and it funstions fine in my 6 AR's, from 16" to 24". I use the RG for plinking as it shoot great in my 20" V-Match. I put 60 rounds into 2.25" at 100 yards, not too bad. I shoot a good bit of Black Hills 68's and 75's in Service Rifle and the Federal 50 gr JHP in the Bushy Varminter. The RG is also my IPSC 3-Gun load. Good Luck Bill |
TZZ is Israeli Military Industries ( IMI ) headstamp . And the source is from a private sale that had two cases of 1920 rounds each and " May " have three more cases . Now I a steady supply of this stuff , I'd share it with you

I use XM855PD ammunition extensively in my LMT MRP, LWRC, and HK 416 Upper receivers (all with a 14.5 inch barrel). I buy all of my XM855PD from AmmoMan.Com whenever he has it in stock. I like the XM855PD because it is military grade loaded to military specifications; all meaning it has extra sip and bark (velocity). I know there are some on this thread that have experienced some bad cartridges; but in the thousands of rounds I have purchased and shot, never a problem. In my experience, the XM855PD is great ammunition is great ammunition and I buy and use it whenever I can. |
