Not sure if this is the correct part of the forum, but it does concern SB281 so here goes.
I have noticed that 5.56 ammo prices are coming out of the stratosphere and I was thinking of buying some. One of the most readily available seems to be the M855 Green Tip ammo, even the CMP has it.
I have read SB281e
and, unless I am missing something, M855 is fine as it is jacketed lead with a steel core, lead not being on the list of "Banned" materials, unless it is part of the catch-all 4-110(A)(2)(VII) materials list. Even then, if I read it correctly, it is still legal as long as I am not committing a crime of violence while in possession of said ammo.
I am using it in a Colt HBAR I have had for sometime and I am looking for some reasonably accurate plinking ammo. Looking for your expert opinions. The relevant section is 4-110 and is copied below from SB281e.
Thanks,
