Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

well, if ammo prices ever go back to normal, i'd consider shipping.  i swear, no one one this island ever picks up 62 grain 5.56.  Lake city and federal stuff is on EVERY ammo site, but i never see it here.  its all 55 grain, and i've been wanting to try some heavier stuff to see if it really makes a difference for a 1:7 barrel.

carter has sold 62 grain stuff in the past in decent amounts.  They were considerably more expensive though and i couldn't justify spending the extra money for the same "amount" of ammo.  I'm cheap like that.  :rofl:

i never seem to be there when it is, i guess.  all i've seen so far is 55.  havent been to further out places like x ring though, so maybe they have better selections?

shot 80s out of 1 x 7. I wouldn't shoot it out of a slower twist barrel

Yep.  The M855 62gr projectile is just about perfect for 1/7 twist.  The M193 55gr projectiles may be good at 50-100 yards, but if you wanna reach out and touch something, you might be better off with a longer bullet, depending on the barrel.

Out of stock.
Is everyone's personal supply running low? I still got 1k rounds of Magtech M193 and about 700 rounds of IMI M855.

I doubt it has anything to do with personal supply levels...just a lot of panic buying. The same thing happened in '94.

M855 has the tungsten core in it compared to 193 without. Some say the placement of the core has an effect on accuracy.

That is what I've noticed in my guns. XM855 has been noticeably less consistent than XM193, but both are plenty accurate for my uses.

I've tried as heavy as 77 gr Hornaday and Federal match ammo (75 gr) out of my 1/7 barrels and they are excellent. At anywhere from $1-1.20 (pre-craziness prices), they better be.
