So I use the IMI 5.56 stuff in 55gr and when I don't want to burn my BH 77gr TMKs, I run the IMI 77gr razorcore. I purchased some of the MEN 56gr ammo, and I might start stocking up on it. I purchased it on the recommendation of a friend and I have no experience with it. I hear it runs clean. My question is, is one grain going to mess up my zero? I'm not looking for 1 MOA out of my truck gun (16" BCM upper with a Steiner P4Xi on it) or my Stag M8 beater rifle, but I would like to not have to rezero if possible and possibly switch between the IMI stuff and the MEN 56gr stuff.

Anyone have mileage and part two, if you do have you gone 55 to 56 gr? I know 1 grain shouldn't really effect the trajectory, it's usually 5 or 7 grains that change the game. But I'm not an ammophile like some people are so just curious.

You will find milsurp type bullet weight *in the same lot* varies more than 1gr.

Lot velocity and bullet shape will affect POI more than 1gr difference.

In M193 type I would choose MEN over IMI.

Good feedback, thanks. I'll start stocking.

MEN is one of the best shooting m193 variant that I've found. (Top 3)

Another worth looking at is Magtech 62grain. That's my number 1 right now.
