Thanks Shadow. I should have sent you the box top!

Interesting how they match the other load with different product numbers.

Thanks Shadow. I should have sent you the box top!

Interesting how they match the other load with different product numbers.

They are similar, but not the same. Different bullets, different powder charges, and I haven't seen many (C)'s with sealant. Also, the XM# often indicates a bulk/government stock number. I've seen many XM boxes on retail shelves, but that doesn't rule out an original bulk/government order, or perhaps a surplus condition.

Kind of hard to tell from the pics but the bullets might be slightly different as you suggest.

Thanks for the update Shadow. I would have hoped for a bit more velocity, but what can we expect from a .gov load.
