Green Tip Ammo For Sale
Overview of Green Tip Ammo
Recognized by its distinctive painted tip, Green Tip ammo refers to M855 5.56 NATO rounds designed for enhanced penetration. Originally developed for military use, these rounds feature a steel core penetrator that helps punch through light barriers better than traditional lead-core FMJ ammo. While not technically classified as armor-piercing under federal law, M855 rounds strike a balance between range performance and added punch.
Most commonly chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, green tip rounds are ideal for AR-15 owners looking for military-style performance. If you’re looking to compare options, visit our full selection of 5.56 NATO ammo, or save more by buying in bulk via our bulk 5.56 ammo deals.

No surprise here but the price per round shows as 63.8 cents. With shipping and sales tax, that easily went to about 85 cents. I did receive it in a timely fashion and it was well-padded in a cardboard box but would have preferred different packing from the factory. My error. A range pack means loose rounds inside a box. The ammo itself is so-so for its intended purpose. I also purchased Belom 7.62x39 (no longer available here) and cannot address ammo quality yet, but the factory packaging (20 rounds per PLASTIC case) was phenomenal.
