Shot a few thousands of those rounds. Extremely accurate and clean ammo. Cycled perfectly fine in my Kel-Tech, Bushmaster and Mini 14 (I clean and oil my rifles after every shooting session).

Stuff won't fit into my Galil's magazine, I'm able to fit three round (including one in the chamber) and it fires alright. Won't cycle properly in my Bushmaster. I guess if you into making your rifle a singleshot, knock yourself out.

I shot 120 rounds of this last week no problems very accurate. Make sure you barrel is chambered for 5.56 they advertise this for .223 it is not meant for those barrels.

Used several hundred rounds through S&W M&P with no problems at all. Very accurate boat tail. Made in America not other countries .

It depends on the rifle, but contrary to popular opinion and CTD's description of this round, 5.56 and .223 are not identical rounds. Most 5.56 chambers will accept .223 without issue, but not all .223 chambers are built to function with 5.56 milspec loads. 5.56 milspec (which this Lake City stuff is) is loaded to a higher pressure and has a longer "leade" than a .223. Which may explain why some see primer blowback or other malfunctions. Be sure your weapon is rated for 5.56 before using it! Check Wikipedia

This has proven to be a very reliable round for my bushmaster and stag arms AR15s. much cleaner than the cheaper stuff, no jaming or duds so far (600+). the price seems to be good for a lake city round. I've paid more and got less.

I have fired over 1000 rounds of this ammo without so much as one hiccup. The XM193 was manufactured for the military at NATO specs but the contract was canceled with Federal. It is more accurate than most other military surplus and burns cleaner also. Beware! The XM193 is loaded to military specs and is not safe to fire in a rifle chambered only for the .223 sporting cartridge. The chamber pressures are too high for a sporter and you can damage your rifle, or worse, yourself!

Fired over 80 rounds through my M&P-15 with no issues, great buy.

I took these out and shot 40 rounds through my bushmaster AR-15 with a 22" bull barrel 1:9 twist. The accuracy was alright not as good as Horandy VMax .223 but better than Rem. Umc .223. the thing that concerned me was 5 out of 40 rounds the primer blew out the back of the bass when fired. the primers jammed my gun up and i had to remove the primers from it because they fell out into the guts of my gun.

Awesome ammo for the money! Goes where I aim it and never had an issue of any sort with it. Pretty much all I've fed my gun.

Well this ammo is good, haven't "chronoed" them, but they no longer have the NATO stamp on the case and probably aren't NATO spec without that stamp, no big deal, but if U want NATO-spec ammo I don't think this is anymore.....

Wow **
