The reason that I assert this claim as bogus is that I can waltz right down to Cabela's in the morning and buy as much American Eagle 5.56 pressure XM193 as I want. There is very little logical basis for the above claim, in light of this.
That is exactly what the ATK rep told my agency as well.
However, i agree with you for the reasons stated. We can see the limits of projectile structural integrity when fired from 18+ inch barrels into gel blocks at close range from the .223 pressure loads.
