Federal .223 55gr FMJ

Yep, dime a shot cheaper than same from Wally's.

Wish I were flush enough right now to grab a thousand and stash 'em.

Sorry to be a little negative but...

Worst ammo I have ever tried. I shoot it through a number of AR's. It would consistently produce groups 3-4 times larger than PMC Bronze which is about the same price from the same supplier.

I agree with you. I will never buy federal again. I put this up for others that may like it.

I have typically had good experiences with Federal ammo...course different guns like different styles too.

The Wallyworld Federal 'bout same as other .223 I've tried so far, like couple types of Wolf, Brown Bear, Tula, Fiocchi, some 5.56 military ball, etc.

I love Federal handgun ammo and .308, but I'm with you on the federal .223 from Wally world. The XM-193 is great, but the stuff from Wally World seems to have a 3-5 duds per box. It's not very accurate either. The best "cheap" brass ammo is PMC as stated above. XM193 is 5.56 rated, so you should only shoot it out of a 5.56 AR, but it's pretty good. It runs amazingly in my Ruger SR556.

I've better luck with Wolf and Brown Bear than the Federal. I really like the PMC.
