This is not military surplus. It was recently manufactured in the nation of Macedonia by ATS Ammunition. Old Army imported and put their label on it, but we still have to give the veteran-owned business the credit it’s due. They’ve provided Americans with a cost-effective solution to any kind of target practice with any kind of 5.56x45mm firearm!
Don’t assume that “M193” means this ammo is specialized or strange. It’s actually the most popular type of 5.56 for range training in the country, and is loaded with versatile 55 grain full metal jacket projectiles. The FMJ isn’t built for terminal expansion – certainly a poor choice for medium game hunting, and not optimal (but not at all ineffective) for personal protection. The bullet’s antimonial lead core gives it density. Its copper-zinc alloy jacket gives it hardness. Its lack of any steel gives the FMJ free access at ranges that ban magnetic ammo.
ATS loads these cartridges with new brass cases, which are made of the same CuZn30 formula as any cases you’d get from an American manufacturer. Noncorrosive Boxer primers and smokeless double base propellant complete the picture!
