How is this rifle ammo for practice in an AR? Any problems at all feeding, dirty, etc?
From what I understand, if it is the blue box stuff, it is basically repackaged xm193. I've heard the same mixed range reports. I've never shot it, but I looked at some of the 20 rd. boxes a while back in a store. It was lake city brass. Looked just like the federal stuff. It was cleaner and packaged a bit nicer, though. Given that I haven't been able to go shooting in weeks due to the ammo shortage, I would not hesitate to buy some, if the price were reasonable. Have you found a good price on some? If so, wanna hook a brother up? :DQuote:

As for the hook up, look at the for sale forum here on M4C.
The 08 Lawman was very nice looking ammo. The 09 I just got is definitely sloppy old XM193.
It looks rough and had a bent round in the box. It's also back in the rough looking NATO brass, as opposed to the 08 stuff that was in "L C O 8" brass.
My bad. Just repeating information I read here. I think they came to the conclusion in this thread, https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?p=234969, that it was, in fact, repackaged xm193.Quote:

Did MarK M's say FMJ on the box? Or FMJ BT 24459 stock number ?

Very good ammo. email sent to get some.
TIA
If I get a chance, I'll snap a pic of the 08 compared to the 09.
Mark, I agree that ammo that I would like to unload is "L C 08" lot # is U 49 W72. It is very clean looking Lake City 08 brass. No photo necessary.;)Quote:
