History and Development
Winchester, a name synonymous with ammunition excellence since 1866, developed this M855 round to meet the demands of military contracts and civilian applications requiring a versatile and reliable cartridge. The M855, often referred to as "green tip" ammunition due to its identifying tip coloration, was introduced as an upgraded 5.56mm cartridge during the late 20th century to improve upon its predecessor, the M193.
The M855's design includes a steel penetrator encased within its lead core, enabling superior performance against intermediate barriers while maintaining effectiveness for training and general use.

Whether for personal range use or professional applications, this ammunition provides shooters with a high-performance cartridge trusted by military and civilian marksmen alike.
Common Questions and FAQs
- What makes this M855 ammo different from other 5.56 rounds?
Winchester M855 ammunition features a 62-grain Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullet with a steel penetrator core. This design enhances its ability to penetrate intermediate barriers compared to standard 5.56 rounds, making it unique and versatile for various shooting applications.
- Is this ammunition suitable for use in .223 Remington firearms?
While 5.56 NATO rounds, including the M855, can physically fit in .223 Remington chambers, they generate higher pressure levels. Always confirm with your firearm manufacturer if your .223 Remington firearm is rated for 5.56 NATO ammunition to ensure safety and reliability.
- Can this ammo be used for hunting?
The steel penetrator in M855 rounds is not optimized for hunting, as it lacks the expansion required for ethical game harvesting. However, it can be effective against varmints or smaller targets in specific scenarios.
- Does the steel core in this ammunition affect its legality?
The M855 is legal in most states for civilian use; however, its steel penetrator core may be restricted in areas where armor-piercing ammunition is regulated. Check your local laws before purchasing or using this ammo.
- Is this ammunition reloadable?
Yes, the brass casings and Boxer primers make this ammunition reloadable, allowing shooters to reuse the casings for handloading.
- Why is this ammo packaged with stripper clips?
The inclusion of stripper clips simplifies and speeds up the process of loading compatible magazines, especially for AR-platform rifles, making it convenient for high-volume shooters or tactical training scenarios.
