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.

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

PMC green tip???? and mOA?
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.

pmc green tip
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".

I am fairly certain you are mistaking PMC"green" (frangible)
PMC did market a couple years ago "PMC Green" which is NOT really M855 "green tip" penetrator ammo.
PMC's New PMCGreen Truly Non-Toxic Frangible Ammunition Is Now Available In 9 Calibers
I actually tooky some USGI green tip to the range today and shot it over a rest in my floated barrel-tube M4 type/configured Rock RIver Arms range gun and it didn't even hold 2" inches. Will try again with my match gun if I get a chance this week, maybe some more stuff also.
HOWZEVER There is a very Easy way to make us a believers, please feel free to SHOW US A DIGITAL PICTURE OF A BOX OF THE STUFF?
