Re: ammoman has green tip .223 That is a good deal... went to one of the local gun shops here yesterday. They were selling cases of PMC .223 for $547/case. Still, I may go back there and get some. Does PMC ammo suck? I really don't know...

Nothing wrong with PMC. It's Korean made stuff.. I have a case of the 55 gr FMJ. The price seems a little high.. But I suppose if you can find it buy it.

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 I just ordered a couple cases from Wideners. They sold out quickly also. Thanks for the link to Palmatto state armory....They have some good stuff IN STOCK....that is the key! Prices look good also.

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 The plain 55gr M193 was designed for the M16-A1. When they redesigned the M16-A2 with a faster twist, they came out with the M855 62gr penetrator round. In order to distinguish the two they painted the tip green on the new M855.

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 Yea i order from wideners, palmetto and ammoman. no complaints about any of them.

Photo from here: http://wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?i...dir=18|830|845 Click the link if you'd like specs. http://wideners.com/images/fulls/Image1475.jpg I use the stuff. It's accurate enough for me from a standard 16" with a 1:9 twist.

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 1 Attachment(s) Did someone say Blue Tip? This is sitting next to a 9mm

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 Just a friendly money-saving tip: green-tip costs more, but doesn't work all that much better than plain lead 69-grain. 223 isn't big enough to really pierce much armor either way. I used to buy the green-tip 10-15 years back when they charged the same price for that and the lead 69-gr, but I wouldn't pay more for the green tip now. The tracers and incendiary is fun to play with, but you aren't going to win a Rambo mini-war with it. ------- If you really wanted some serious-AP ammo, you'd make bullets out of gold. Gold is 1.7 times as heavy as lead, almost 2.5 times as heavy as steel. You'd have to work up a handload for it though, and you'd probably be wise to stick with shooting it out of a bolt-action. A semi-auto isn't going to take a 1.7X power increase real well..... -end-

Re: ammoman has green tip .223 Aren't they more for body armor than metal armor.

Yes, they aren't meant to pierce tank armor. they are considered "light armor piercing"

That's a 20 mil round as used by the F-16. The blue projectile (it's not a blue tip,) means it's a training round.
