The green tip whoopla didn't really bother me, "except" for the Politics behind it and the price my ammo guy was hocking to me. Honestly i did know about the problems, something to consider and pass atound. The MK318 appears , better. That said.... This is my take....another $$cha-ching$$ story/political stunt. Another little Dis-traction!! "Save the taxpayer money", please, who do these assholes think there fooling? Oh?! the sheeple

I been wondering about the M855A1 round. Does it really chew up the inter workings?

That is exactly what I told people after becoming aware of the new m855a1 round. It will beat the heck out of the guns. It operates at 60,000 - 65,000 psi and has 3 times the gas port pressure. No American propellant manufacturer would supply the propellant for this round. St Marks of Sweden provides the propellant. But hey it's "green", it's chic and so politically correct.
