    Technically it's not even classified as armor piercing like m955, right?

    They're looking to reclassify it as such, based on the % of the bullet is jacket to steel core, like they did with 7n6.

    The following is from the April 1994 version of the Small Caliber ammunition tech manual. If it has been revised to no longer be relevant, then I apologize, and hope someone can post up more current info.

    From TM 43-0001-27, Chapter 10, pages 19 (M855 - Green Tip) and 25 (M995 Black Tip)

    Wideners is good people. I think they update their website frequently but sometimes things will sell out and then they have to update again. Its probably better than over selling the quantity that you have on hand.....

    They also stated that they could have sold all there IMI m855 to one buyer but they decided to pass and limit it to one case per person.
