Pretty sure the pressure reduction wasn't long after it was introduced after all the reports of breaking bolts and wearing out barrels quickly. All the lots we've been shooting are older (2014ish) and don't seem noticeably hotter than M855.
M855A1 fragments much further out than green tip, I haven't seen any hard data but from unofficial experiments people have been making with gel I wouldn't be surprised if it was past 300m. It's a huge improvement.
