Lake City XM855 @ Midway
Just an FYI. Midway has XM855 for $170/420. I reload, so I don't know if this is a good price for mil-spec ammo or not. It seems reasonable.

Seems like a good price, but they can kill you on shipping.
Rob @ ammoman.com has it for $179 shipping included.

Re: Lake City XM855 @ Midway
If some of you dont have experience with this ammo, trust me its REALLY good stuff.
I buy either Lake City M855 or back when it was available I would buy the Israeli IMI M855 and they both shoot great.
I actually sight my AR's in using the M855 and all of my SHTF ammo is M855 loaded in mags."One must be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves” ~ Machiavelli

Re: Lake City XM855 @ Midway
That ammo is great, almost all I ever shoot. I get it from these guys along with some other stuff. Great guys to deal with and they have the same exact ammo way cheaper.
$129 for 420

Re: Lake City XM855 @ Midway
Hmm good point, I didn't notice that. Looks like these are rounds that didn't pass military specs.
I usually buy this:

Re: Lake City XM855 @ Midway
It's my understanding that all "x" marked ammo is military rejects. I shoot the 55gr and 62gr all the time and NEVER had any problems with it. Believe the other one is xm193.
