I am still not impressed with the supply in Southern California...
Went to my local LGS yesterday. They have LOTS of powder but no bullets and primers are limited to 200 per customer.
Never seen that Winchester packaging. I'll ask my nephew, he works at Winchester.
I shot a few boxes of it in the dumping rain the other day along with some other ammo. Got positively soaked, functioned fine. No real surprise there. Was like any other military pressure loaded XM193 ammo accuracy wise and "feel" wise. My batch didnt have any of the wonky primer crimps etc., for shits and giggles I inspected them.
It's nothing special, if you can find it cheaper now that things are coming back I'd just skip dumping alot of cash into it. In fact Wally World has started receiving shipments of the IMI ( Independence) 5.56 loaded XM193 that is basically the same thing for $9. I havent seen them in my area yet, but lots of people are seeing it arrive.

"BRD, much like the Wutang clan, is nothing to f@ck with"
Yes...got some of those Independence last week...then this Win stuff came In along with American Eagle .223, for $9., I bought the .223,
not gonna pay $13. for any 5.56 / .223
Not gonna buy anymore until it comes down below 35 cents a round.
The more of us that stop paying high prices...and let the inventory pile up, maybe they will start to lower the price and dump high priced inventory.

Received confirmation on Thursday 4/18/13 I will receive a 2013 Colt LE 6920 this week for the very reasonable price of $1041 (LEO price). Shipping from MA to CO. Eagerly anticipating the arrival at my ffl.
