Stopped by LGS after work and grabbed a couple of boxes just to try something new..

Any info on IMI Systems Ltd? Is this real IMI stuff?

MV is advertised at 3215 fps.. Is this M193 ammo with politically correct 223 packaging?
Brass is marked "IMI 223 REM"

Sounds like IMI has changed their corporate name. Specs read mostly like good old IMI M193 to me.

It's possible it's downloaded from days gone by, though, as I used to get close to 3400fps from IMI M193 out of my 20" barrels.

That's .223 Remington Spec :

.223 Remington, 55gr FMJ, IMI, Velocity Test (White/Tan Box)



They also offer the M193/5.56 spec:

5.56x45mm, 55gr FMJ M193, IMI (White/Tan Box) Velocity

Buffman nailed it.... barrel length difference. IMI's webpage shows they used a 24" barrel for the testing of the .223 version.
