What currently commercially available 5.56 ammo is rated at mil-spec pressures? I am in dire need of some M193 or M855 with the right specs. Let me know what is out there.

There are other sources as well. The only ones that meet true M193/M855 spec that I am aware of, and is available at this time are Federal and Priv Partizan.

Federal and Priv Partizan.

I believe you are correct. I have shot both and they are GTG. Not sure what Federal uses, but the Prvi is boxer primed, M193, 55gr FMJ boat tail 5.56mm. Nice ammo - accurate and clean. I've had Prvi hold 0.75" groups at 100 yards out of my carbine.

NOTE: ammoman.com has the Prvi, but I've found it cheaper - $350 for 1,000. In a pawn shop in eastern NC believe it or not. He doesn't ship, so don't ask.
