What does the C or the CBP mean in the XM193C or XM193CBP. Thanks.

  Has anyone had any experience with this ammo. Kinda seems like it has a military type designation. Any information would be appreciated.

  Here is a c&p from another gun website. I do not know if true yet...
  
  ""The brown box Federal is cosmetic rejects from the LC plant that never get to government packaging. The black box Eagle comes from a huge stockpile that had passed QC and packaged for government issue. Then the contract was canceled for M193 and Federal was stuck with millions of rounds. So they pulled it all out of government packaging and reboxed it in the black boxes for civilian sale. It should have the NATO cross on the brass. This ammo was cleared for troop issue. Of course the repackaging required yet another handling.""
