I was at my local Dick's Sporting Goods a couple Sundays ago and was stunned to actually see some ammo in stock. They had some American Eagle in dark boxes marked "193". I assume they are offering it in a hotter load than normal .223 and are equating it with 5.56 mil spec. Has anyone seen this stuff and if so have you chronoed it to see if it is indeed moving at about 3250fps with a 55 gr bullet?
