I have a box of 55 gr but haven't tried it yet. 55 gr anything doesn't shoot well in my 1/7 twist barrel. 69 gr does very well.

I didn't know that PMC made M855 but I wouldn't be afraid to try it. I know the Privi M855 is GTG.

With my rifle the green tip 62gr ammo is superb!1" groups at 100yds with 4x scope. Clean, thinking about buying some more.

I wAs not aware that PMC (i.e. Poongsan Metals Co. in ROK) sold any m855 (green tip) in the US? Never seen any, but who knows. There are certainly smaller operations making up green tip based ammo from components such as "Lake City" (the bogus one), The Armory, etc.

BUT, one thing I am more than sure of is that no m855 projectile ever made (by anyone) will hold consistent 1MOA (basically 1 inch) groups, even were one to place them over match prepped cases/charges. I guess I can load some up again sometime, but were I to get less than 1.5 groups from my full-blown match rifle, I would do back-flips, heck, 1.75 would be about it I suspect.

This ammo is sold in Canada. It did shoot consistent 1" groups at 100 meters off bench, 4x scope.Most surplus green tip I've shot (Port. and unknown are much less accurate more like 2 to 2.5".
