^Make sure you read the fine print on that one. "This ammo is classified as “Factory Seconds” by Federal Cartridge Company because we were told that it failed the FBI’s accuracy requirements."
Its probably going to be marked RXM556SBCT3 and come in a white box possibly. That photo is of XM556SBCT3 and it looks like they borrowed the picture from BFGC.

Here’s some more info, and in a brown box.

THIS AMMO IS BULK PACKAGED ON 10 - ROUND STRIPPER CLIPS.........

Federal XM556FBIT3M 62 grain Tactical Bonded ammo. This is the ultra hard to find ammo made for the FBI's tactical units

MFR#: XM556FBIT3M
Caliber: 223 Remington
Bullet: Tactical Bonded
Bullet Weight: 62 Grains
Box: 200 Rds ( 20 10 - Round Stripper Clips )
Manufactured by Federal Cartridge Company under contract for the FBI, the XM556FBIT3M is a 62 grain Tactical Bonded bullet bulk packaged on 10rd Stripper Clips. This ammo is classified as “Factory Seconds” by Federal Cartridge Company because we were told that it failed the FBI’s accuracy requirements by .1 inch. It has crimped primers and sealant around the projectile. This limited supply is available for purchase until it is gone.

Is that info from somebody who actually ordered it? I read what they said on their website. First off, .1 is meaningless unless you know what the FBI requirements are. It could be 4 MOA at 100 yards. So at a minimum its 4.1 at 100 yards probably worse since they only posted the minimum deviation and not the maximum. "Who" told them it didn't meet the requirements? They didn't say it was Federal so it probably was a distributor looking to off load it. I also highly doubt it is marked FBI anymore. Also, if the FBI rejected it that means they don't have confidence in it as a self defense round. Why should a civilian think any less. Should we trust "factory seconds" on a life saving moment? Ultra hard to find? I ordered a case on Wednesday from a different seller, please. I'm not trying to bust your chops Mustang its just their ad is full of omission which is a form of lying. Caveat emptor...

Looking at the dust and powder on the boxes, seems like this might have been on the shelf for awhile [BD] but $0.55 per round shipped from Brownells didn't seem like a bad price for 300 subs ... primers look sealed.

That’s some good ammo

You could sell that Norma brass and recoup a good chunk of that cost too

That Norma TAC at the great price is produced by Lake City. I can't figure out if it's actually Norma brass or Lake City. I've ready at least one report that it's Lake City brass but I haven't confirmed. I bought some of the last Winchester white box .233 55gr ammo that was actually commercial Win brass and uncrimped primers. If you buy that ammo today it's LC produced with LC brass and crimped primers. It's a little annoying, actually, because Winchester, Norma, and Frontier appear to all be the same Lake City ammo because someone figured out how to contract out excess capacity.

I was curious and bought a case of Wolf Gold 5.56 @ .50 per. I wonder if this is for their military. A compare vid showed same performance as the .223 out of an AR.

I've gone through 1 or 2k of Wolf Gold and love it. My understanding is it's kind of the Taiwanese version of Lake City. I.e., it's from the production line that provides ammo to the Taiwanese military. I actually prefer it over AE. It's been my go-to plinking ammo for years. I can't recall every having an ammo related issue. Accuracy is meh, but what I'd expect from any military ball ammo (i.e., it's not any better or worse than any other M193 I've shot)

Brass is good for reloading, too, but has military crimped primers so you have to swage, which is the only reason I haven't rushed to buy more. I'll pay a bit more for bulk commercial .223 like PPU if I can find it just to avoid having to deal with crimped primers when processing brass. If you don't reload, you should still grab the brass as you can either sell or make a reloading friend happy.

Boil, Are we talking about the same ammo? I’ ve probably shot 4K of the gold box .223. This white box 5.56 is also made in Taiwan, but has a different powder charge. SGA lists it as Wolf Gold also. I don’t know if both have crimped primers.

Well, I had simply presumed it was the same but they just changed the packaging. What I've shot is the picture on the top (the gold box). Despite being marked .223, it has crimped primers and annealed brass, which implies a military load.

I found the compare video I suspect you were referencing. Interesting that the 5.56 boxed ammo has a higher charge weight than the .223, but I also noticed the headstamp on the brass changed. If they changed brass they'd have to recalibrate the charge. The video I watch (Buffman) he got overlapping performance and concluded it's the same ammo.

I suspect they've just updated their recipe, but it's good that you pointed out that difference as I'd want to separate the brass between the two as I suspect you'd have to adjust accordingly. Would be interesting to check the case capacity of each to check that hypothesis, though.
