A: Hi Chris! The 223 Wylde is a type of chamber, not a barrel. It is designed to fire 223 Rem cartridges even better than a traditional 5.56 chamber could! That said, your rifle is 100 percent designed to fire both 223 and 5.56, M855 ammo included. Fire away!

A: Yes sir, this bullet does indeed have a green tip that indicates it has a seven grain steel penetrator tip.

A: Sorry sir, but we take this ammo out of its crates ahead of time to speed up shipping.

A: A lot of indoor ranges do ban magnetic ammo. That's because a bullet that contains steel presents a greater chance of ricocheting or creating sparks that could theoretically start a fire. This round's bullet contains a seven grain steel tip, so ranges with magnetic ammo bans will not permit you to fire it there. I've shot magnetic ammo at plenty of indoor ranges, though, so it's worth checking with your range to see if they'll allow M855!

A: Thanks for reaching out! This round's primer is sealed with lacquer, and its case mouth is sealed as well. This ammo is indeed made for Federal by Lake City.

A: Not at all. What makes an M855 bullet special is its steel tip which helps it to penetrate barriers. That tip will not touch any part of your barrel, however, making its effect on your barrel no different than a conventional FMJ bullet.
