No, this is new stuff. I have over 300 rds of this for sure. I bought it within the last couple years, from either PSA, or a similar company. This is not ammo that was Fuego Centro whatever from 50 years ago.

"It is currently CA legal to modify a double-action revolver into a single-action revolver and modify a single-action revolver into a double-action revolver.
CA DOJ BOF stance on modifying handguns only applies to dimensionally compliant bolt-action single-shot pistols and dimensionally compliant break-open single-shot pistols.

Ammo made in 1975 isn't really that old. It will be fine to shoot.Poke'm with a stick!

Also the red sealant. That's typical of military ammo. And it will be either 55, 62, or 77 grains. You can pretty much rule out 77 grains because Mk262 is not cheap nor particularly common, so it's not like you'll accidentally stumble onto it and order it at the regular M193 price. The same is true to a lesser extent with 62 grain ammo. M855 usually has a green tip but not always. But it will cost more than 55 grain, so if you bought M855 thinking it was a good price for M193 then you really need to up your shopping skills. So that just leaves 55 grain.
I could be completely wrong and it's commercial ammo in some random weight like 52 grains or 68 grains, but that stuff is pretty uncommon and expensive, so it comes back to the reasoning similar to Mk262; you have to be specifically looking for ammo in that weight, you don't just accidentally order it.Last edited by kcheung2; 01-17-2020, 10:06 AM.---------------------

Looks like commercial reload. 5.56 case, but who knows what it's loaded with. Did you buy some from a gun show, or a shop that sells "remanufactured" ammunition? The FC would be Federal Cartridge. That's who made the case.There are some people that it's just not worth engaging.
It's a muzzle BRAKE, not a muzzle break. Or is your muzzle tired?Comment

I wonder how many of those barrels marked .223 Rem are really Wylde or NATO?Has anyone actually seen a gun damaged by firing a 5.56 in a 223 Rem marked weapon?
Just wondering. I don't think I have been very careful about what I shoot out of what - in terms of 223/5.56 weapons.Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your Honour
