Do you really think it's somehow so "inadequate" for training use that it's not worth it at HALF the price of 193?

Reminds me of watching our state department of corrections do all of their training with Gold Dot. Thousands of rounds a year at nearly twice the price.

I don’t care about better terminal performance. I care about ammo functioning in the gun.

It is indisputable M193 and Mk262 are at the top when it comes to functioning in a properly gassed Mil std rifle.

Indisputable that Lake City 193 is the only round other than black hills 262 that's reliable?

lol you're a treat

My dad picked me up 600rds from his local walmart, kept the rest for himself (don't blame him). He and his GF cleaned out the store of 9mm and .45, no limits on purchase.

I hit up my local Wally World and nothing was on sale... prices were high as usual lol

My Wal-Mart finished their liquidation of pistol ammo a while back. By the end, they were down to just .40 ammo, and I sold my last .40 pistol a while ago.

Checked my mallwart yesterday out of curiousity. No pistol ammo, no .223 or 7.62x39, but FMJ 7.62x51mm in the military-styled (but civilian market) Federal boxes. I doubt they realize the idiocy. Anyway, .22 rimfire was at fair prices while the remaining mass of hunting ammo was nothing special nor anything I needed.

My local chain sporting goods store has better prices on their routine sales every 1-3 weeks, and mail order is better still, so no biggie.

I haven't bought ammo from WalMart in quite a few years. Living in Oregon, I get my carbine training ammo, Federal AE .223 and XM193 from BiMart. They'll have them on sale several times a year @ $5.69/20. Also Blazer Brass 9mm 115/124 FMJ @ $9.00/50. They're a PNW chain, in ID,WA, and OR, that are employee owned. So I like to spend my money there. So if you're in the region, shop at BiMart. They appreciate the business. Shamelessly plugging a local chain, but what the heck?

As far as reliability goes, I've never had any problems using AE .223 or even PMC .223 ammo in my "amateur" duty guns. Then again both my duty guns are carbine gassed systems, Colt 6920 and BCM Lt.Wt. carbine.

Stopped in Trailertrashmart the other day to get some oil and swung by the ammo case just for curiosity...Nothing but 22LR and Fudd-gun ammo as expected.

Oh well, I don't need to shop there, so I mostly don't. Really, the cheap-ish 9mm and engine oil were the only reasons I ever went in there anyway. SGAmmo and Sportsmans can have my ammo money, and I'll start driving over to Autozone for oil.
