1) In the ammuntion review  and reference section - which Winchester .223 ammo is it that is ranked #2?  I went to the Winchester web page and there were several different kinds of Winchester in the .223 cal.

2) Other than the box, is there any difference in Winchester (Olin) M855 and Winchester Ranger M855?  

Just curious as I am starting to see more Winchester ammo become available.  Thanks guys.

1. The ammo in the review I would think is Q3131 / Q313A which is Winchester's M193 Spec Ammo.
2. I don't think there is any difference between the Win. M855 and the Ranger M855. I believe Winchester's website lists Ranger Ammo as being for LEO use but I've seen it in many Gun Stores for sell to anyone.

That's just my 2 cents worth. If I am wrong no doubt someone will correct me.

Since M855 is a specification for the round, it technically cannot be different in the Ranger line.  Just an issue of how much extra you want to pay for that gold colored box.

In my experience all of the winchester 223/556 is very good.

Thanks for the feedback on the M855 guys.  That always puzzled me.  

Amazing that no one knows which Winchester .223 is ranked #2 on AR15.com list.  

Winchester Q3131 is ranked #5 and Q3131A is ranked #3.

* I was just thinking about the same thing---Winchester M885 in the White box or Winchester Ranger M855.

From what I have read on here the difference is about $2/box (sometimes more)
