Of course, there’s little to stop mfg from loosely using the term, other than their reputation.

PPU, I think it is, makes a 55gr ball load they call “M193”, and headstamp it as such. I doubt that it would be comparable to real M193.
What is the difference in jacket thickness? And why? I feel like I’ve heard this before, but I don’t know the whole story.
