    I will definitely try other .223 factory loads as well as .223 class reloads using CCI No 41 primers.

    There is still the round that wouldn't fire in my LMT AR.

    Well I missed this thread, I picked some up yesterday prior to researching this ammo. This is my lot numbers for the 55gr X193 and 75gr “match”. Hopefully it will be ok. What about shooting in a .223 Wylde chamber? I have read that that is hit or miss??

    Mine was 19B and I had no problems. A lot of the problems were with 18c lots

    Should the 75gr be ok to shoot?

    Same here. I am about 500 rounds into a case now.

    I am now tempted to do a 500 round shoot of this ammo just to see what happens. My 500 round case is in the problem lot number sequence mentioned in this thread. I will post if I have any problems.

    Hi neighbor...I was just in there and saw that myself.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
