M855 green tip is the 62 grain 5.56 NATO standard used by US forces, and PMC’s X-Tac version is one of the most popular commercial M855 loads. This listing is PMC X-Tac 5.56x45mm NATO 62 grain M855 ammo, MPN 5.56K-BP, sold as 600 rounds in sealed Battle Packs.
The M855 bullet has a lead core with a small steel penetrator in the nose, marked by the green tip. PMC rates this load at 3,100 fps with 1,323 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. The 62 grain bullet stabilizes best in 1:7 to 1:9 twist barrels, which covers most modern AR-15 rifles. Shooters choose M855 to match military ballistics, for training on steel at distance, and because the heavier bullet carries well in the wind compared with 55 grain loads.
This ammunition fits rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO or 223 Wylde, including AR-15 rifles, the FN SCAR 16, Sig MCX, IWI Tavor, and HK416 pattern rifles. A common question is whether M855 is allowed at my range. Many indoor ranges and some outdoor ranges ban steel penetrator ammunition because it can damage steel targets and backstops, so check your range rules first. It is also hard on steel targets at close range, so keep a safe distance. Another common question is whether M855 shoots well in a 1:12 twist barrel. Older 1:12 barrels often struggle to stabilize 62 grain bullets, so 55 grain ammo is the better choice there. Do not fire 5.56 NATO in a rifle marked only 223 Remington.
PMC 5.56K-BP is new production ammunition, not reloads, loaded in South Korea. Each round uses a reloadable brass case with a boxer primer and is non-corrosive. The sealed Battle Pack packaging protects the ammunition from moisture for long-term storage. This listing ships as 600 rounds of 5.56 NATO 62 grain M855, and the brass cases can be saved for reloading.
