100 Rounds of 5.56x45 Ammo by Federal American Eagle - 55gr FMJ XM193

XM193 ammunition isn’t remotely unusual. As a matter of fact, it’s the most popular type of 5.56x45 for target shooting! Federal Premium loaded this ammo according to the U.S. Armed Forces’ M193 specifications. The additional “X” only means that this ammo is meant for you to purchase instead of the government!

This cartridge’s muzzle velocity is 3,165 fps, which is perfectly normal for a 5.56 load with a 55 grain projectile. The simple full metal jacket features a lead core, copper-alloy jacket, smooth-feeding and streamlined solid point nose profile, and cannelure to preserve the bullet’s seating depth. Federal’s XM193 FMJ doesn’t contain steel, so no worries if your range has a magnetic ammo ban in effect.

You will immediately notice that this ammo’s brass cases are mottled around their necks and shoulders. To be sure, the noncorrosive Boxer-primed cases are brand new and reloadable. The manufacturer just didn’t enhance the cases’ cosmetic appearance by buffing them up after annealing them for added strength!
