Ok for some reason I'm drawing a blank....purchased some American Eagle XM855 62 grain fmj green tip today.... I also have some PMC 62 gr green tip and on the pmc box its listed as LAP.....so is the American Eagle a lap round or just a 62 gr bullet without the steel core?  Thanks its been a longer day than I thought

There is no such thing as "LAP". That's some marketing crap.

XM855 is an M855 projectile with steel penetrator.

PMC 855 is the same, within reason.

Precisely.  This stupid marketing idiocy is why ATF is getting stupider with reclassifying SS109 bullets as armor piercing.

Exactly, more fuel for the fire. Just another backdoor attempt by king zero to disarm us.
