[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Whats the difference?

Got the 1000 round Federal deal from Cabela's. It was adverised as AE223 but they sent XM223BL. What is the difference between the two? I can't find a reference tp XM223 on the Federal website.

I believe its the same thing, just like XM193C, XM193BK, XM193F ect.... Just different packaging

All the AE223 I have has primer sealant and i think a crimped primer (I still find it hard to tell whats crimped and whats not)

How was it packed. That was a good reason I didn't order it. I don't like bulk packaging (probably just OCD on my part).

I have always viewed bulk as less quality. If it were a higher grade it would have been in boxes. I have never tested this. Perhaps just cosmetic.

It was packed in 100 round boxes.
