You guys have to practice speedloading a cap & ball. I am getting pretty quick with my 1851 Navy c&p.

I just strip it, rinse it, oil it, re-assemble. Not much more time than any other revolver. Might have to try the shower thing, usually just my Glock goes in the dishwasher....
Back to the OP, Welcome Mel, I shoot the crap out of XM193, and keep plenty in reserve. I personally have not had an issue at all with it. Do you have any other info? Pics?
Most ammo carries a "lot" number; is there a reference to it somewhere? Federal/Lake City makes a BUNCH of ammo, and as many rds. that are fired it would be interesting to see some more evidence.
P.S. The IMI stuff is really good also. I keep that stash for the Zombie's.....
