M855/ss109

m855 is the new .22

I'm tempted to order some- I have some on hand, and compared to other calibers, m855 isn't that effective anyway.

m855 is the new .22

LOL, exactly what I'm hoping. Maybe someone will stop stockpiling .22 and switch to m855 for a while.

The test case for this was the soviet ammo ban from a year ago. They twisted the laws into a pretzel and set a precedence to use the armor piercing laws as a means to ban any bullet they wanted. Next up the most popular bullet in America. Now... combine this with the current work to ban lead for all bullets and what is left to use for bullets? Now they are using precedent to ban anything and everything. You can chamber a 50 Cal round into a rifle. If you chop off the rifle butt stock of every rifle ever made.... it is now by definition a pistol. So trying to define rounds meant for either is useless and lawless. But if the end goal is to ban anything and everything....well they have their effective means

If lead is to be banned (EPA garbage reasons) and bullets can not use any of these following materials in pure or combination alloy form - " one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium". Please tell me what material has the ability to hold form and enough mass which can be used? Because that basically covers all things on the periodic table and their combining alloys which are suitable for use as bullets.

Natchezss.com still has bulk quantities in stock in case anyone is looking. 40-45 cents a round.

I was ordering a case of 9mm. Looks like prices/stock haven't changed yet.

Those that do still have it online seems the price is going up. M193 prices haven't moved.

If you want it for about $376/1000, here you go; Federal 5.56 62 Grain Green Tip 12,500 rounds

...but there's a quantity of 5 limit.

I was also able to find some Prvi Partizan at www.ammosupplywarehouse.com for $0.38/rd shipped

I guess we'll never get to see the new 855A1 projectiles on the market. They seemed like they could be amusing as a sabot load for 308.
