Anyone have recent info on quality of IMI/Sampson 5.56 55gr ammo?

[Bonjourjr]

I placed an order for some fed xm193 from brownells back in November 2012 and forgot about it. I recently received an email with an offer from brownells to switch the product from federal to imi/sampson 55gr 193. the ranges I frequent don't allow me to use 855 so I use 193. I have searched a bit on google but all I could come up with was old postings about the quality. Apparently it hasn't been offered for sale here in the US for a while. Basically I am looking for any updated info on its quality. Thanks

I got the email earlier this month. Bit the bullet so to speak. I don't know how they are now, but their reviews before are typically well received. I don't want to wait another year for the original stuff. I read a few times that Samson/IMI 5.56 are usually hotter.

Shot good in a friends S&W. I didnt fire any. I kept his brass and just reloaded a batch and all went well reloading it. Havent fired my reloads but I thought cosmetically the brass looked better and loaded easier than WCC.

If that helps or matters.
