1 - SS109 is the NATO designation for the bullet that is loaded in US M855 ammo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M855 2 - M193 is a 55 grn "ball" military load in 5.56x45mm. .223" Remington ammo is designed for a shorter throated chamber than the 5.56x45mm chamber. 3 - "ball" ammo is simply a standard bullet. No tracer, no incendiary, no special armor piercing properties (except M855 ball, which has an armor piercing design) 4 - I will leave to the experts. |

So if I have a box of ammo that says SS109. It is basically the same thing as xm855? |

2. "55gr FMJBT" is not the same as M193 55gr FMJBTs for terminal performance. M193 will fragment while "55gr FMJBT" may or may not to varying degrees based on manufacture.
