Theoretically...
M193 is actual milspec, manufactured for a government contract and meeting all requirements.
XM193 is a commercial clone. May or may not be the exact same as the milspec. In practice I doubt you could tell the difference.

In reality there is no commercial enforcement of the nomenclature.
PMC M193 X-TAC is not milspec, but is some very good stuff.

10-4, I kind of want to practice with the M193. 35 cents a round is reasonable.

If you shoot that X-TAC stuff at night, you won't need a floodlight..........the muzzle flash will light it up.

Jimmy,

I haven't shot any but I picked up a bunch of spent cases at the range after this years Shot Show, where they were demoing it. I haven"t reloaded any yet.
It runs heavy, like IMI. Nice heavy web and thick walls at the base. I like that nice radius at the web/wall interface.

The Germans make good stuff, I'd buy it.

I shot some Geco Swiss made ammo today. Ammo Seek has it listed. It's not quite IMI193 but it's not bad stuff.

you do see a lot of PMC, which works fine nary a misfire, but pretty sure its not as hot as IMI M193.
