Just for your info, most folks find the M855 to be less accurate than XM193 or other FMJ rounds. Placing the steel penetrator in the lead bullet is hard to do consistently, leading to variations in ballistics from bullet to bullet. Unless you get a smoking deal on M855/SS109 ammo, or really need to penetrate body armor and steel helmets, you would be better off buying XM193 in bulk. It's typically $30-50 less per 1000rds.
