Thanks for the replies.
Are the IMI M855 the 62 grain steel core? Is this the "armor piercing" round? |

The IMI M855 is not "armor piercing". Some use that as an advertising gimick, but it's just regular ball ammunition with a mild steel penetrator inside. It is used to have better long range performance for the military. 62 grain.

Quoted: HB 5.56 green around primer Austrian Hirtenberger (good stuff) H1 5.56 green around primer ? WCC 94 red on primer (Winchester made in 94?) This is really Lake City M193, but with Winchester's headstamp, as they were allowed to make/sell some of this ammo commercially back when they were running Lake City. Federal/ATK is now running Lake City, and sells the same ammo as "XM193". 89 13 (South African made in 89?) South African M1A3 from 1989, yup. TZZ 96 with some kind of proof mark, green tip. IMI M855. [url]www.ammo-oracle.com[/url] for all you ever wanted to know about M855. Also, does anyone know what grain bullets are in the South African battle packs? 55gr. The battle packs were M193-spec ammo; the new-production stuff is lighter-loaded commercial ammo. -Troy |
