I bought some boxes of it years ago and still have quite a few. Mine is marked 3-83 and it does kind of resemble Q3131 in the way the bullet is crimped. It shoot about the same to me.

have a few boxes marked 2-83, no complaints, and the posts on this M193 have been generally favorable, would have no hesitation in using it for practice in a 5.56 rifle. It does seem to be a full-powered cartridge, ...don't have the velocity specs for it, ....seem to recall someone else posting it as a "fast" 5.56 a little on the dirty side, but in the big picture, good stuff.

I bought a sealed can at my gunsmith's shop for about the price of the XM193 PD ammo. That's the most I think you should have to pay for it(a little less than current price of PD ammo). I tried a few rounds and felt power and speed pulsing through my Bushy. Accuracy not up to Fed xm193 boxed in my rifles. I will try to save mine for winter shooting. It will help my cruddy actions function in cold temps when Wolf is a problem for squeaky clean rifles.

STOP!! Don't shoot it!!! It will blow up your gun and you will die!!
 Send it to me and I will get it to the Haz-mat dump near my house. Well, ok. It's damn good ammo. I went through 2 or 3K back when it was around. It is on the hot side.  I was told that Winchester set up the plant. The only problem I have seen was a couple of blown primers, but this was during 100* heat.

It should tumble well with that velocity.

It is m193 ammo. If I remember correct @3200 out of a 16" gun. It will fragment.
