Can you provide a citation for that?K.Mooneyham wrote:It is my understanding that ammunition for the DOD is manufactured to very tight specifications. Any lot of ammunition that doesn't meet the specs generally will not be accepted by DOD. And also, generally, primers on military ammo are sealed. A lot of the stuff like XM193 and XM855 is very close to military ammo, but missing something (like the sealant on the primers) or it had minor defects that kept it from meeting specifications...that is why it has the X in front of the number.
I've always been under the impression that Lake City manufactures the ammo exactly the same way, but some is slated for military use and some for LEO/civilian use.
