I have a hard time finding match ammo.  This is a FYI if you are part of CMP or CMP eligible.

For match ammo it's about .87 shipped.

Hornady .223 Rem. Ammunition, Bullet: 75 gr. BTHP Match, Velocity: 2790 fps. at the muzzle, 200 rounds in a case.  It will take about 6 months according to the site to ship.  I used this ammo with pretty good results.

The POI shift between XM193 and XM855 to me seemed to average about 2-2.5" with 1/7 twist and 3-3.5" with 1/8 twist (I did this awhile ago, but this is what I recall after shooting 5 round test groups with each 3 times).  The 1/8 twist performed well as can be expected with xm193, not so much with the xm855.  What was interesting to me was the Winchester M855 and the Federal XM855 had a POI shift of about 2" also.

sorry
i meant the POI shift between the .223 BTHP match and the XM855 and XM 193?
i traded for your XM855 thinking that it would perform more like the .223 BTHP than the XM193 would

How come shipping for ammo is so cheap from cmp but outrageous from other sites?

I wondered that myself.  Only thing I can think of is the application process prevents everyone from being a member, thus the better shipping rate to alaska and hawaii.  Just guessing though.  I only wish they had more calibers available.  I will say that the wait time is no joke.  It took about 3 months before I got my order prior to the craze when it was in stock.  I think it's worth the wait though.
