These are both M193 spec, so are essentially identical as far as your rifle is concerned. Note literally all known cases of damaged AR15/M16 rifles which have "blown up" are the result of reloads. Plugged bores make up almost all the other cases.
Want plinking ammo? Lots of good surplus and Russian commercial out there. -- Chuck |

Yes, Q3131A does have crimped primers.
I prefer the Q3131A to the XM193 only because the Q3131A is a bit quieter out of my 16". |

Wholesale Hunter has the Federal XM193 on sale right now for $149.50 for 1,000 shipped. From what I hear, both companies are good to do business with, but [b]in this case Wholesale Hunter is about $50 cheaper for the same thing.[/b]

One MIGHT do well,considering that given "as stated" these are both quality M193 ammo, [b]the one that shoots the best and groups the tighest[/b] in YOUR rifle, should make the choice a no brainer.

Does the q3131a have a smaller ... fireball than the xm193? My Bushmaster puts out a massive fireball with the xm193 ammo.
