The Aguila 1E556125 M855 Green Tip delivers military-specification performance with steel-core penetrator construction designed for enhanced barrier penetration. This 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition meets M855 standards while providing consistent accuracy and reliable feeding in AR-15 platforms and military rifles.
What Makes This Different
The M855 green tip designation indicates a steel penetrator core beneath the lead core, engineered specifically for improved performance against light barriers compared to standard M193 ball ammunition. Aguila manufactures this ammunition to NATO specifications with quality control standards that ensure consistent velocities and reliable ignition. The 62-grain weight provides better wind resistance and terminal performance at extended ranges than lighter 55-grain alternatives.
