What are the specific differences between the two types of ammunition? What does the X signify? Is one superior to the other?
I know they're both 62 gr steel penetrator 5.56.

No specific difference. The X ammo may not have met a velocity min/max or something. But it can't all be rejected ammo. I mean... there's just too much of it available...
it's even in Walmart in some towns.
I still haven't heard a definitive answer about the federal XM ammo.
I dont think anyone knows.
If it bothers you, then look for IMI or Privi or PMC X-Tac first.
Ill buy whats cheapest (IMI right now)
where is the cheapest place to buy the imi right now?
Wideners
The M193 is like $0.28/rd delivered to PA

Not tryin to call you out but I couldnt find any ammo to my house at .30 everything I found close to that did not include shipping.
