Looking for some information. What Brand and color of paint matches the green tips on M855 projectiles? Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe one source is Federal Lake City 62 gr FMJ. Check out Sportsmansguide.
[edit] Belay my last. read the question wrong. If you can find out what the specification designator is you might get more info from this site. Also, take a look at this page. Here's the Federal Color standards from 1989. Better answer can probably be found here. Also look at the TM 9-1300-200 ~ something tells me the actual color code is located there. |

You guys have more time to kill than I do. I agree with this sentiment, but everyone here gets to take whatever crazy path they want in their reloading. At least this member can express a defensible reason, unlike those that paint bullets to satisfy their need to be more tacticool. [I'll pass on paint solids in my rifle bores.] |

Proper labeling will keep things sorted out. I "tip" my rounds after they have been loaded if I am gonna store them. I have four kids and ever single one of them love to pick off stickers and labels. Last thing I need to do it pick up a box of ammo and head out; only to find that I am shooting my .308 tracers during the middle of the drought. It only takes about 2-3 minutes more per 100 so it's not a huge time sink. I have a block with holes setup that I put all the rounds in facing tip down. I use this chance to inspect the primer pockets - then flip it over and pass over the tips with appropriate color identifier. Let it sit for about half an hour while I do other things and then dump it into appropriate box. Then I never have to worry about getting things mixed up. Sarg |

Still though I wouldn't concern myself over the particular shade of green. I'd grab a can of green krylon like in the pics there and call it good. The green paint color on SS109 varies by manufacturer anyways. |
