Federal XM Question!

[BIGBANG]

I was at my lgs today on my break to pick up some ammo, they were running a pretty decent deal on Federal XM193, Anyways I grabbed some boxes and noticed something on them and was wondering if theres a difference between them. There were boxes labeled XM193 and XM193F, Is there a difference between the two? or is it just a way to identify a a lot number or something?

All XM193 product is the same regardless of the sku or part number. (ie. XM193C is the same as XM193F, XM193CBP and etc…) The only difference is the package configuration.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

XM193= 5.56, 20 round brown box, 500rnds per case.

XM193BK= 5.56, Loose Bulk, 1000 rnds per case. Not as pretty as the boxed stuff where some rounds may have small dents but still goes boom.

XM193A and XM193AF= 5.56, rounds packed in ten round stripper clips, 900 per case.

XM193C= 5.56 commercial package, American Eagle Tactical "Black Box," 20 round box.

XM193CBP= 5.56, commercial package, American Eagle Tactical "Black Box", Loose rounds in 200 round bulk (value) pack.

The letters usually designate the packaging. Some like the brown box stuff more that the black box AE. Look at the reviews and shoot what your rifle likes. Hope that helps.
