Alrighty... I was snooping around for my first case of 5.56 on palmetto (great prices!) but I have a quick question for you who know too much...
[I'm building my first AR and I'm stoked for the lowers to come in on this group buy!!!]
On to the question...
What in the world is the difference between M193 and M855 ammo??
ARFCOM said "Both rounds are effective when used what they were designed for.
M193 Unarmored targets up to 460 meters using a battlesight zero of 250 meters
M855 Targets wearing body armor up to 600 meters. Point target 550 meters and 800 for area targets
The accounts of M855 being less effective on unarmored troops is remedied by shot placement and being prepared to use multiple rounds to do the job."
Which really don't answer my question...
Which would you buy and why?
