OGC is running a good deal on 5.56 (34 cents/round) so I picked up a case.  I'm assuming this stuff is equivalent to Federal XM193?  Is it reloadable?  The primers look different than my Fed (sorry I'm not a reloader but I save my brass for a buddy, don't want to mix them if there's a difference).

I've gone through about 500 rounds of their 62 grain offering and it is good stuff. It is their equivalent to 193, but from my sample their brass has been in much better shape. Can't answer your reloading questions but there is a good bit of info over on the M4Carbine.net forums.

Thanks, appreciate it.  I tried looking on the forums but there's some conflicting information.  Some say that CBC uses proprietary primers while others said its GTG for reloading.  I guess I'll just give it to my friend and tell him he needs to figure it out  ;D

ive loaded cbc with regular cci small rifle primers just needs to be swaged a little to allow the primer to seat easier
