Details
From LCAAP (Lake City Army Ammunition Plant) this is a loose 1000 round case of 5.56x45mm ammo. The NATO specifications for the 5.56x45mm require the cartridge to handle significantly higher pressures than its sister cartridge the .223 Remington, therefore you should only use this ammunition in a rifle specifically chambered for 5.56x45mm.
M193 cartridges are loaded with a 55gr Full Metal Jacket Boat-tail projectile, while the M855 cartridge is a 62gr Steel Penetrator which weighs 62gr. This Lake City M193 ammo is available in this 1000 round pack from Federal Ammunition and is some of the top range ammo made in the USA for the 5.56x45mm platform.

Got my order quick as with all my past orders from this site but after counting the box (twice) it came up 21 rounds short. At $.82 a round (price with shipping and tax) that’s unacceptable. (Posted on 10/30/2020)

I must of got a bad batch. I don't know if it bad primers or no gun powder. I've had as high as 2 out of 6 duds. That is very costly for what I paid for. I would never buy another federal bullet again. Lost I just hope I done have some danger animal attack me with this bullet in my gun. (Posted on 4/19/2020)

Ammo great so far, but have to say ... looks like a reload as all the brass seems to have scorch marks. Product was cheap, but not advertised as a reload.

Hi Timothy. Just to let you know, these (and all) military loads are not allowed by NATO specs to undergo a final polish to remove the (scorch marks) annealing marks. This is visual evidence that the cartridge was properly heat treated by the loader. These rounds are military contract over-runs, but NOT reloaded or re-manufactured. (Posted on 11/1/2019)

I like Lake City ammo and have purchased it for years now. Bulkammo ships super fast and usually has the best prices. I’ll be back for more.
I sure wish you’d offer this or the Lake City M855 in wooden battle crates of 2-840 round cans on stripper clips in the bandoleers like the old days! (Posted on 10/13/2019)

I got myself a new AR, so I had to get plenty of rounds to familiarize myself with the new weapon (and clear off the cobwebs from my 5.56 rifle skills). I have since sent over half the case down range without any issues from this ammunition. I will buy this again, soon. (Posted on 9/19/2019)

I got these to break in my new rifle and my AUG loved them. Cleaned the entire case and never had a single issue. I will say the ammo left my fingers dirty after loading 3 or 4 mags, but that's to be expected.
The value and reliability was great and I have already picked up another case. As long as it's in stock, this will be my go-to. (Posted on 4/14/2019)

First and foremost the service is second to none! I had my order within four days. Called about an expired rebate offer with the purchase and had another e-mailed within minutes. Fired around 250 rounds of this ammo, both slow and rapid fire, not a FTF in the lot., clean burning ammo. Very pleased with the amazing service, superior price and quality of my order.

I perused a couple of sites looking for 5.66(&223) on a Sunday evening, decided to purchase from BulkAmmo being that there was no sales tax for FL. I have shot these rounds in general, no jams, malfunctions or error of any sort. I received my package the Wednesday following that Sunday evening, 3 day shipping cannot be argued against, I will certainly be returning here to purchase! Cheers, happy shooting!

I bought this ammo for use in my newly purchased AR15. I've put about 100 rounds downrange and the ammo is consistent. No problems with the rifle and I'm on target at 100 yards. I will definitely buy more of this ammo when I need it. (Posted on 7/2/2014)

Ordering was simple and delivery was fast! Federal has always made top quality ammo. Price point was good, not great, but not so bad I would have given it only four stars. Would gladly shop here again if I find BULKAMMO.COM carries 5.56 NATO ever again. I really would like to see you carry the Lake City 1,000 round cases of 62 grain steel penetrator... perhaps some 1,000 round boxes of a good JHP hunting round too? (Posted on 12/22/2012)

Go my order fast, and as expected. Federal ammo is alway reliable and this was a good deal for non metal core bullets. Ranges are not allowing steel cored rounds any more, so I have more than enough for the upcoming zombie infestation while keeping my skills up on the range with these rounds. Thanks BulkAmmo for solid fast service and good pricing again! (Posted on 8/14/2012)

I ordered this loose 1,000 rounds from bulkammo.com. They shipped quickly after submitting the order, and I had the package on my doorstep in 3 days. As for the ammo, I'm almost through with all 1,000 rounds. I shoot two Colt LE6920-type rifles and a Sig Sauer M400 using BCM magazines. Not a single FTE, FTF, etc., etc. When I have the $$, I will buy more of this ammo. It works great for shooting practice. (Posted on 7/3/2012)

Q: Will this ammo make my ar15 jam after about 30 40 shots? Will this ammo fire off all thousand rounds w/o me having to un jam 200 times? Basically, is this good ammo?
Posted On: 9/7/2020 By: Rich
A: This ammo is made by the single largest producer of small arms ammunition for the United States Armed Forces. In a nutshell, if you join the Army, this is the ammo you use to train with your M4. It's nothing fancy, naturally, but Lake City's ammo is highly consistent, reliable, and trusted by countless shooters for target shooting and range training. I believe you will be satisfied with it!
Q: Went to order 1000 rounds but it says you cannot ship to my area at this time, curious as to why and when will I be able to place my order. Zip code is 49922
Posted On: 4/18/2020 By: Cody
A: Hello Cody! Our apologies, but we cannot ship to an island in Michigan without violating HazMat restrictions. I recommend you contact our customer service team at (800) 720-6035 or [email protected] for a possible workaround to that shipping restriction. We hope we may serve you!
Q: Can you shoot 5.56x45mm 62 grain fmj-bt ball out of a ruger mini 14
Posted On: 3/23/2020 By: Shelly
A: Thanks for reaching out, Shelley! We believe that the Ruger Mini-14 is available chambered for 223 Rem, 5.56x45mm, 300 AAC Blackout, or 7.62x39mm. This ammunition will only work in your Mini-14 if it is chambered for 5.56x45mm, so please check your firearm before ordering this ammo.
Q: is this loose ammo in a box reloads?
Posted On: 6/7/2019 By: Gabe
A: This ammo is all first run factory ammo. It is not a reloaded product, but the case is re-loadable.
The discoloration around the neck is a product of the annealing process. This is a heat treating process done during the manufacturing process to allow the case to flex without cracking. Most of your commercial cratridges undergo this process, but most have the discoloration buffed or polished to a shiny finish for aesthetics.
Q: Are these castings reloadable?
Posted On: 4/7/2018 By: Devin Giammalva
A: Yes these are able to be reloaded.
Q: What is meant by boat tail. Can I run this in a kel-tec RDB and a Tavor?
Posted On: 10/18/2017 By: Scott lang
A: Hi Scott,
Boat tail is an alternate projectile shape. It is meant to increase accuracy at greater distances. The ammunition is used in 5.56x45 firearms
Always Check your owner's manual for any ammunition exclusions for your specific firearms before use.
Q: Will the Federal XM193BK ammo pass the 'magnet test'? Thanks for your help.
Posted On: 6/6/2012 By: Mark Hensley
A: 5.56x45 ammunition featuring an M193 bullet will pass the magnet test. While some products are shown with XM193, this is essentially the same bullet. The "X" indicates that the ammo will be directed towards the civilan market. You will still receive the same quality ammunition made for the military.
(If you are target shooting in an indoor range, you will want to avoid the M855 bullets as they will fail the magnet test. These are good for any other application including outdoor target shooting!)
Q: Is this ammo safe to shoot in a 1980s era Ruger mini-14?
Thanks,
Lance
Posted On: 10/21/2011 By: Lance
A: Your Mini-14 most likely has a .223 Rem chamber, and it is not recommended to fire 5.56 ammo through a rifle with a .223 chamber.
Q: Is this ammo safe to be shot in a Savage bolt action rifle, that is marked .223?
Posted On: 10/6/2011 By: Jason
A: No, it is not safe or recommended to fire 5.56mm ammunition in a rifle marked .223 Rem .
Q: What is the muzzle velocity of the 5.556x45 XM193 ammo by Federal?
Posted On: 7/14/2011 By: troy mc
A: Federal's XM193 ammunition is made to military specifications and features a muzzle velocity of 3240 FPS. At 78 feet from the muzzle out of a 20" test barrel the XM193 projectile has a velocity of 3165 FPS.
