Does Q3131 have the velocity that XM193 does?



XM193, Q3131 and Q3131A are all so close in performance that there really is no significant difference in velocity. They all meet M193 velocity standards.



How does AE 55gr and 62gr compare? I have used both for the last year and have had Zero problems. Just looking to see if this ammo is comparable to the above mentioned  in regards to velocity.



It's decent commercial ammo for plinking and range use, but it doesn't have the velocity of the milspec loads. None of the commercial ammo does, which is why M193 spec ammo is so popular.

Ammoman had 5.56 55 grain in bandoleers and cans yesterday. I looked this morning and couldn't find it on his site. Did they already run out?

He still had some 62 grain, expensive, but a can would be nice for SHTF storage, 820 rounds per can for 200+

News like this makes me glad that I stocked up over the last two years.  I have almost 6000 rounds of XM193, most of it on strippers.  Guess I'll be looking for a decently loaded practice ammunition so I don't have to shoot my good stuff.



Regarding cheap practice loads....

I'm sure most of you by now realize that Military 5.56 brass is tough to get from people like Scharch Manufacturing who have really done a great job in providing re-processed (cleaned, primer pockets swaged, trimmed and full length sized) Mil. brass to the public. I talked to them the other day, and it's pretty grim. So grim in fact that they have all but gotten out of the Mil. Re-process business, and started there own "New Brass" manufacturing.

It appears that the Gov't is either shreading or melting the used 5.56 brass versus selling it to private contractors. I'm sure Troy or others of you know more about this policy than I do, but clearly it sucks!

I used to use the "3 shots and you're out" rule for reloading my 5.56mm brass. I am now going to shoot it 3 times and trim/ de-burr it and shoot it again 3 time for a total of 6 shots. I may run into loose primer pockets by shooting it this much, but it's better than running out before I die, which should be in about 30 more years.

I too am glad I have invested in my "Sealed Ammo Cans" for any SHTF activities.

Tack  



I can get you 11,140 LBS OF 5. 56 CALIBER FIRED BRASS, APPROX 5,700 LBS . 50 CAL FIRED BRASS, APPROX 2,660 LBS 7. 62 FIRED BRASS, APPROX 940 LBS . 30 CAL FIRED BRASS AND APPROX 60 LBS 9MM FIRED BRASS.

All in one fell swoop. Interested?

Q3131 Winchester 5.56 has appeared on the shelves in stores I've visted but I have had some problems. Lots of other folks have not.
