Zing...Probably "The Internet". That's where every reliable piece of (mis)information comes from. Hey - I read it somewhere from some guy on a forum who is the go to guy for this type of information - it says so in his signature.
However, Destro seemed to be saying something very different, and completely contradicting the info posted directly on Federal's website.
Busted...thanks jerk , I will clarify my statement by saying it is Military Reject ammo, not factory reject.....key word on their website is loaded to commerical spec. We can debate what the XM means as far as militaty reject ammo means...
BTW: somebody from the INGO Gun store of the year said that "Trusted sources" have told him that it is reject ammo for one reason or another
i'll cite that source first

I WAS right it WAS an internet expert. Funny how everyone backed off when he cited his source (which happened to be internet hearsay. It was someone form a forum who knows a lot and he heard it from someone who knows what they're talking about).

No, I do not believe it is Military Rejected Ammunition.so do you believe it's not .mil reject ammo?
So, XM is first run commercial ammo, or commercial quality anyway, but ammo the military rejected, or is said to have rejected, for any number of reasons including a slight imperfection in the brass.....but that meets every requirement for commercial ammo, but could have been originally intended to meet military specs....
I tend to believe what the manufacture states over what someone said they heard from an unnamed source. That's just me.
you do that
What about Federals info on the page linked is incorrect?you do that

I've handled, opened, distributed, shot, etc MANY, MANY cans of ammo and I've never seen or even heard of thatI have heard reports from military that what they get is sometimes missing primers or bullets so maybe the "commercial" stuff is actually better?
