Is XM855 the same as M855?
Federal 5.56 NATO ammo is produced for the military and the civilian market at the Lake City Ammo Plant, which is ran by the U.S Military. Service-issued ammunition is labeled as “M855” (steel-core penetrator) or “M193” (conventional ball ammo). The civilian equivalents to these rounds are labeled “XM855” and “XM193″
Is M193 more accurate than M855?
If penetration, longer distance, resistance to wind, and other environmental factors are important to you, then M855 will suit you better. But if you’re buying ammo for range shooting, hunting, or self-defense, the average, run-of-the-mill (and cheaper!) M193 is a better option
What is the difference between XM855 and XM193?
M193 vs M855
The M193 cartridge is a 55 gr lead core surrounded by a copper jacket (FMJ-BT, full metal jacket with boat tail). While the M855 “green tip” cartridge is 62 gr and has a steel core “penetrator” at the tip which helps it go through barriers more easily (also FMJ-BT
Does the military use M855 or M193?
Formally adopted in 1964, M193 was the primary round used in military M16s until the 1980s. (This was when the M855 “green tip” cartridge was standardized according to a NATO agreement.)
