I saw some ammo for sale and the label on the box stated:

5.56x45 (M 193)
FMJ BT 55 gr
PBC 844
12/2008
lot PPU 0808-05

The case head is stamped 5.56x45 PPU08

They come 20 rounds in a white box.

What is this stuff? Any good?

Privi. It is reliable but the primer sealant, which is red gets all over the bolt face and you have to use a brass brush to get it off.
