Independence Ammo, 5.56, Made in Israel

[Slawburger]

I picked up some 5.56mm from BassPro.
Brand: Independence , Made in Israel
Cost: $10.97 per 20 cartridges
55 grain, FMJ, XM1931

Slight discoloration at the neck but it is supposed to be reloadable brass.
Just posting in case someone else was considering it but wanted to look at it first.

That stuff is good to go. I have used it before (still have several hundred rounds) and my PSA AR ate it right up.

Good to know. Thanks for the input.

I have seen Israeli-produced Winchester Q-loads (white box), but was not aware that any of the Independence was Israeli-made; thought it was all loaded by ATK.

Can you post a pic of the packaging?

Let us know how it shoots

Used a lot of it...

I have shot over a 1000 rounds of this stuff....no problems

I have a case of it and it runs fine through my AR's.

This is my favored ammo for my AR. Good stuff.

Isn't that discoloration just from the annealing process? I have noticed all my factory new ammo, all my 5.56 NATO is annealed show that discoloration but none of my .223 REM is discolored.

Correct! All my 30-06 brass is colored the same. None of my .223 has this discoloration...yet!!!

Brass looks pretty when it's annealed.

That neck discoloration isn't a bad thing. Look at any Federal American Eagle XM855 and the LC brass is the same way. Same thing goes for PMC X-TAC SS109 and their PSD brass.

I've bought this Independence from Gander and Walmart. No issues.
