I'll start by apologizing if this is in the wrong forum. I may or may not know of someone that came across some m855a1 and was wondering what this stuff may be worth?

Probably a couple bucks per round since it's no available to the public.

There is all kinds of price gouging going on. It's a seller's market.

If this goes thru, perhaps the ammo manufacturers will start supplying 62 grain copper/lead rounds moving forward?

Just walked out of Walmart with ZQ SS109 for $50 for 150. They had LC 855 for $70 for 150. They had plenty of it.

As of last night, my local Academy still had Lake City M855A1 900rds for $450 in a plastic ammo box. Seven on the shelf.

Not the same stuff that the OP is asking about.

M855A1 is not the M855 that everyone, but Mark, is talking about.

Is the OP (with his first post) talking about A1 or did he just put down what he heard the stuff was called? Did he confuse the two?
Is 855A1 for sale on the free open market?

M855A1 isn't "Green Tip" people...

Since it's not available to civilians and unobtanium stateside, it's pretty hard to gauge value- aside from buying / selling stolen Government property.

Heard it's rough on weapons, as it's loaded like 8,000+ PSI higher than regular M855, almost to proof load level.

I wouldnt shoot it out of my personally owned guns. But if the gov. was paying for replacement parts then yes as it does offer improved performance over M855.

OP may end up being one post and out!

Thats what happens when a panic starts, you get all sorts of people coming out of woodwork who have no clue.

Not quite anymore. We've transitioned to it in the rear.

Still a shitton of green tip at the ASP, but I've been shooting A1 since getting back. I imagine it'll start walking off posts and CID will stay busy.

Good to know, I still haven't seen any and while I knew it would eventually replace M855, I didn't think it was being rotated in yet. That explains how the OP's buddy has some...

Just been busy, I am not mistaken it is the a1 with the exposed steel tip.

Yes. That's it.
