    because not everybody buys ammo for paper targets, and some people want the best money can buy


    The best that money can buy? Are you serious?

    The best that money can buy, being XM193? Really?

    There are people who think that the best ammo you can buy is XM193?

    Agreed, but in my case I at least expect the terminal performance to match what I expect from M193-spec. That means a projectile the correct composition that will fragment at the expected impact velocities, etc.

    If it's cosmetically different, who cares. In fact, I bought 2540 rounds of that Guatelmalan IMG M193 a few years ago that was so corroded most people didn't want to shoot it. I had one round in those two cases that did not fire, and the rest were good. In fact, they were a little hotter than most M193-spec I've shot, which I learned at the Kentucky State Multi-Gun chrono stage a few years ago.
