Is it....855A1???
Im pretty sure all 855 is lead free. They are copper jacket over a steel core.
That is incorrect.

The cross section shows the jacket and the lead core along with the steel "penetrator" of the M855.
The new M855A1 does not have a lead core.
ETA- I don't know what that linked ammo is, does not match the external characteristics of M855A1.
Ohh ok. I was unaware there was lead between the jacket and core.
Haha...looks like ATK finally figured out what to do with all those rounds of original failed tungsten-nylon core "green" M855 that were piled up in storage...
Isnt this the stuff that was found to be more toxic than lead core bullets?
Let's see, if this is indeed the leftover failed "green" M855, it is not as accurate as M855, terminal performance is not as good as M855, oh and it is toxic to the aquifer unlike lead, just like has been previously posted...
Retaks--have you never looked at the LEAD base of an M855 projectile or held the little tiny 10 gr steel penetrator and thought to yourself, hmmm...I wonder what materials the rest of the 52 gr is made of?
Wiggity, why would a toxic poorly performing tungsten-nylon core interest you?
