M855A1 vs Ar500 Armor

Posted on June 19, 2024 by SinistralRifleman

ERRATA: We made the mistake of calling M855 and M855A1 “AP rounds”. Neither are specifically designated as AP, but have some AP like qualities. We spoke to this as people who frequently compete and shoot at steel targets, and while M855 and M855A1 are not officially AP rounds, they might as well be by our standards. So please note this correction – M855A1 is an “enhanced performance” round, and still considered ball ammunition by technical standards.

About SinistralRifleman

I've been competing in the action shooting sports since 2002. I believe competition shooting to be an excellent way to build gun handling and marksmanship skills and encourage all gun owners to seek out some form of competition shooting. Anyone can become reasonably good at it if they devote the time and resources to do so. Winning, while nice, need not be your goal; bettering yourself through the pursuit of excellence is something we all can achieve.
