Details
This 5.56x45mm ammunition is perfect for range use out of your AR-15. This ammo has been loaded by a private manufacturer on automatic machinery using demilitarized Lake City components.
The use of demilitarized components is a common practice which helps to produce a less expensive cartridge that still offers the reliability that you need when you are simply going out to the range to shoot target practice.
This XM855 ammunition is also commonly known as "green tip" or "penetrator" ammo for the steel tip located at the front of the bullet. These "green tip" bullets are copper jacketed, lead core, with a steel tip at the front of the bullet. Note that some batches of this production run are missing the green paint on the tips. This ammo has been tested with a magnet and it appears that some of Lake City's projectiles that they pulled have the paint worn off. We tested this lot with a magnet and it is magnetic so it is still M855 steel tip.
Note: Since the brass cases used to load this ammo were manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, they will feature annealing marks at the neck of the case. The annealing marks are left on as part of the government's visual inspection process.
This ammo is brass-cased, boxer-primed, non-corrosive, and reloadable.

- Good Ammo Review by whiskeymike

The only problem I had with my order was the fact that I ordered, and the invoice stated that I paid for XM855 ammo, when in fact I received what was supposed to be SS109. These two types of 5.56mm are the same weight (62gr). The 855 is green tipped and I know it is 62gr. I had to disassemble and weigh a bullet of the shipped ammo to satisfy myself that it was indeed 62gr. So, if you order 855 you may receive 109 in its place but they are both NATO 62gr.
