Of course, the guys who told me this could be full of it and I could just be passing on bogus information to take it FWIW!!

It makes sense. Because look at how many millions of rounds of X ammo have been retailed out. No one's production failures are that high.... I hope.

I bet there's no one single magic answer for every single X round that comes out of ATK. Some of it was kicked for this and that, some of it is overrun brass, etc.

Here's the response I got from my friend at ATK;

It how we designate Lake City product for distribution to the LE market.

It is ammo that does not completely meet their specifications. But keep in mind those specs are so fine that all it takes is the brass to be a little shiny to be rejected. It is not rejected based on the quality standards we use for LE. We make sure each lot exceeds our standards for the domestic LE and Govt business.
