[jeep78]

M855 is 62 grain. That is how it is labeled.

 

[Hunterrs]

Sure looks like lead tips.

 

[palmettomoon]

That is NOT the new M855 LFS round. Those are either commercial or Billy Bob reloads (soft tip) repacked in M855A1 bismuth tin alloy steel penetrator packages.

 

[EMC45]

I've never seen written nomenclature on mil or civ ammo quite like that.......

 

[ReservoirDawg10]

There is some Fudd **** going on there. That is not m855a1. That is some sort of lead tip.

For reference on m855a1

 

[Crochet556]

I got 'em from a good friend that was a SEAL snapper who crossed branches and became a Green Beret Snapper.

Just remember to never shoot the m855a1 round in your weapon. It is highly corrosive and will break things.
