Just ordered a case of MEN M193. G&R Tactical is super easy to order from, shipping is less than I would pay in local sales tax.
If it's as good as people say, will be buying a lot.
German manufactured ammo at this price seems like a steal.

My MEN m193 shot better than my IMI m193 last week.
The MEN works very well, no problems, clean, typical M193 accuracy (a little better than average), packaged in 30 round boxes, which is handy with 30 round mags...
Burned up 300+ rounds, not a single problem. Nothing.
Great stuff, will buy a bunch more. Really a no-brainer, fine German ammo at great price.
I am a big fan of MEN ammo. I like the 5.56 ammo but if you shoot 9mm, they make 124 gr. ball ammo that is really cost effective and performs very well -- Its accurate and clean.
I just wanted to come make an update to my thread, and thanks again to people recommending MEN M193. I've put 780 rounds through the new build so far and I'm pleased. I like the way it shoots, it's accurate, clean, and well priced. I like the packaging in 30 round boxes, and it's easy to clean and maintain my weapon after using it. All and all great ammo, making it hard to think about shooting anything else in a 55 (56) grain. 5/5 stars.
Thanks for the update. Did you actually shoot for groups at all?
If you're in a replenishing mood, and don't mind trying a different round, Sportsmans Guide has Wolf Gold for $277 per case. That's the "member" price, but they offer a 30 day trial. Even without the discount it's $291. It's highly regarded around the forums as one of the best values for plinking ammo.

I haven't really been shooting for groups so far, as I've only been using my back up irons while I gather funds for an LPV. Ofc there has been some times when I'm feeling in the zone that I've brought it in pretty tight, but at this point I'm just learning to shoot (well) again and working on the fundamentals. Once I mount my scope I'll start getting a little more concerned with precision, but this is my all purpose build anyways, so in the end as long as I'm on center mass and hitting what I'm aiming at I'm happy. At 100 yards I'm making head shots on a full size silouette. That's what, 8 MOA? So with irons that's not terrible for an old out of practice noob, I don't think.
Here's a pic of my target after my first 7 groups. This is out of a never before shot 16" BMC CFH barrel at 25 yards, and my first 5.56 rounds since 1993, which was the last time I qualified on my M16A2. Gotta give credit to BCM that their upper assembly(FSB)+Troy backup sight was so well zeroed right off the bat. I got a little carried away on 5 because I couldn't stop shooting, it was feeling so nice. I'm willing to bet the ammo will scale up with me nicely as I get better, which is what this thread was all about. Thanks for the tip on the Wolf Gold too, sounds like it's worth a look.
