Last I heard. All of the IMI 55gr was considered outdated. Probably totally unreliable by now.
You are welcome to send all of your IMI to me for safe disposal... |

I am going out this weekend to chrono some IMI 55 and 62 grain. All the loads will be shot out of 11.5 inch barrel and 20 inch barrel.

Eric,
Is that an average of a certain number of rounds fired? If so, please post Max, Min, standard deviation, and number of samples. (If that is not too much to ask  )Thanks! |

I have heard that IMI ammunition is approved for emergency/local purchase by US forces because it is loaded to US MILSPEC, and that it is the next best thing to having Lake City. I would expect that its performance would be fine (the Israelis don't seem to have any problems with it).
