Winchester M855 ammo delivers proven 5.56 NATO performance with a 62 grain projectile designed for shooters looking for authentic M855-style rifle ammunition. Known commonly as “green tip” ammunition, this load offers a unique option compared to standard 55 grain 5.56 range rounds.
The heavier 62 grain projectile provides a different shooting experience than traditional 55 grain loads, making 5.56 M855 ammo a popular choice among AR-15 owners and rifle shooters who prefer military-pattern ammunition.
Winchester combines its long-standing ammunition manufacturing experience with the established M855 cartridge design to deliver dependable factory-loaded rounds for compatible 5.56 NATO firearms. Shooters should always confirm range restrictions before use, as some facilities limit certain projectile types.
