A: Hi Joshua! The M855 is designed to penetrate sheet metal. It won't penetrate a steel target, but it will permanently damage it. Not recommended! I'd recommend using any FMJ ammo, so long as you angle the target downward and follow other safety protocol. If you're shooting steel up close, where there's a risk of shrapnel splashing back at you, then I would recommend frangible ammo. It's got special bullets that disintegrate when they hit a hard surface. I regret that we haven't got any frangible in stock at the moment, though.

A: Thanks for reaching out TC! The 223 Wylde chamber is designed for optimal functionality with both 223 Rem and 5.56x45 ammunition. I cannot guarantee any kind of performance out of a rifle that I have not personally tested, but there is no reason on paper why 5.56x45 M855 ammunition like this should give your 223 Wylde AR any issues.

A: Thanks for reaching out William! We're presently offering eight different options for M855 ammo. Some are made by PMC, while others are Winchester. The Winchester cartridges are all identical to one another; they're just packaged in different quantities and packaging. The PMC ammo should perform more or less interchangeably with the Winchester goods. Pricing differences are primarily accountable to differences in quantity. You can see our whole selection here: luckygunner.com/rifle/5.56x45-ammo?jacket_type=1631

A: Thanks for reaching out Chuck! Your AR-15 is chambered for 5.56x45 ammunition. That means it is also able to safely fire 223 Rem ammunition, which is (A) virtually identical in physical dimensions, and (B) loaded to a slightly lower chamber pressure. You're good to go with any factory loaded 5.56 or 223 you find. But I want you to be sure that the 5.56x45 M855 bullet contains steel and will attract a magnet. Many commercial ranges prohibit "magnetic" bullets because they have a higher chance of damaging a backdrop and produicing sparks when they bounce off a hard surface. If you haven't yet, check and make sure whether your range will allow M855 ammo on their premises. That could save you a big headache!
