200 round linked belt of M855A1 packed in a M249 SAW ammo box with pouch!
M855A1 is designed to provide maximum penetration, terminal performance, and accuracy, making it appropriate for use by both military and civilian shooters. M855A1 ammunition is a refined version of the conventional M855 round, with a penetrator made of hardened steel that increases lethality and penetration. M855A1 rounds are ideal for training, target practice, and self-defense since they operate consistently and dependably in rifles chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO. Whether you're an experienced marksman or a firearms enthusiast seeking top-quality ammunition, the M855A1 meets the high standards you demand.
As you can see, the M855A1 is a significant leap forward from the M855. One of the most notable improvements is using a non-lead core, which enhances penetration capabilities. The M855A1 features a steel penetrator tip and a copper alloy jacket designed to improve accuracy and lethality. This design ensures better performance against hard targets and reduces the chances of over-penetration in soft targets.

Ballistically, the M855A1 is superior to standard 5.56 rounds in several respects. It has a higher muzzle velocity (3113 fps, 1334 ft. lbs.) and maintains stability and accuracy over longer distances. The M855A1 round’s aerodynamic design reduces drag, allowing for a flatter trajectory and more consistent impact. This difference means greater effectiveness, especially in long-range engagements.
