SGAMMO's description makes it sound like good reserve ammo. Though, what is worth the price over X-Tac M855 or XM855?

What are the main differences? Accuracy?

Data per importer:

"Unlike most other ‘NATO’ ammunition on the market GGG GP21 is new production; not old surplus, product overrun or ‘NATO like’ imitations. GGG GP21 is 100% authentic military ammunition exceeding all STANAG and MOPI requirements. GGG manufactures and qualifies GGG GP21 ammunition to the same rigorous standards whether the end user is the US commercial market or a front line military combat unit. GGG spares no expenses in the manufacturing process using only the highest grade of brass with deep annealing that is excellent for reloading. The military grade boxer primers are non-corrosive, non-mercuric and exceed all sensitivity requirements for combat use. A high quality double base smokeless propellant is used. The full metal jackets are made from tombac. The case mouth and case primer joint have a waterproof sealing.

The M2A1 cases are sealed with a full rubber gasket. There is also a wire and pressed stamp lock around the hinge which must be cut to open. As a result of both the quality manufacturing and the packaging, when stored in this fashion, GGG NATO ammunition has a minimum shelf life of no less than 20 years. GGG NATO qualified ammunition far exceeds the benchmark and typical performance of other NATO ammunition."
