i have way more of each than i will use, but i want to keep a batch of one... which one should i sell and why 1) sellier and bellot m-193 .223 or 2) remington umc .223 thanks

I HAVE SHOT THEM BOTH AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH EITHER BUT THE S&B STORES IN MUCH SMALLER AREA(FITS IN AMMO CANS PERFECTLY)REMINGTON A LITTLE MORE BULKY BOXS,BUT I WOULD KEEP THEM BOTH SPEND MORE TIME AT THE RANGE AND RELEIVE A LITTLE STRESS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OVER SUPPLY OF AMMO AT THE SAME TIME,TO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH!

+1 getting rid of "extra" ammo doesn't make sense to me unless you no longer have use for that caliber. |
I could'nt agree more and these days the "Hey Hiwa I need a Battle pack" are gone unless you pay the going price You got to figure it out-Stash It!  ETalon,Factory proofing ammo 7.62x54R  Unopened and bought long ago  Oh Gee,No Headstamp wonder where I got that in my Favorite caliber  Never get rid of Ammo,Just Opininon

Not even close.....keep the S&B. The UMC stuff has some big quality control issues. At least 2 people from the NVHTF have recently weighed in on threads regarding KBs using UMC. I don't think either of them had it KB in a rifle but both IIRC did say they've personnally had experinece with bad bullet setback as in actually being able to push the round back into the cartridge. Yeah, I've shot a bunch of UMC but given a choice, it's S&B hands down here. My .02 |
| I would shoot all of it or sell it and buy some of the Federal XM 193 that is floating around right now if you plan on stock piling ammo. The price is reasonable and the stuff is of a higher quality than both brands listed above. Shoot some of that S&B at night or indoors and check out the ridiculous flash! |
