Overview of M193 Ammo
The M193 classic 5.56 cartridge featuring a 55‑grain full-metal jacket bullet, originally adopted by the U.S. military in the early 1960s. It delivers reliable performance, high muzzle velocities around 3,200 fps, and accurate shot placement—making it a trusted option for training, plinking, hunting varmint-sized game, and general range use.
Why Choose M193?
- Affordability & Availability: As a basic FMJ load, M193 is often less expensive than more complex alternatives like M855, especially when bought in bulk.
- Compatible Across Platforms: Safe and effective in any AR-15 chambered for 5.56 NATO, but pressured loads should be used with caution in .223 Remington-only rifles.
- Trusted Military Provenance: Designed to work reliably in M16 rifles, it's battle-tested and simply works—ideal for shooters who value consistency.
How M193 Compares to M855 “Green Tip”
| Characteristic | M193 | M855 (Green Tip) |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet Weight | 55 gr FMJ | 62 gr with steel penetrator |
| Muzzle Velocity & Energy | ~3,215 fps (~1,262 ft‑lbs) | ~3,060 fps (~1,637 ft‑lbs) |
| Barrier Penetration | Standard | Enhanced—better at penetrating light barriers |
| Range Performance | Solid out to 500 yards | Improved accuracy and penetration at longer distances |
If you want both availability and modest performance, M193 is hard to beat. But if you need barrier-punching ability and extended-range accuracy, M855 may suit your needs better.

Peter said:
So in regards to this specific order, they did an amazing job as always. This company tends to ship things extremely fast, to the point I’m shocked at how they get it done that fast! What I do have to mention is how they did me a really huge favor without me, even knowing about it. I’m new to guns. So I’ve made a couple mistakes purchasing ammo. I purchased some steel core bullets, only to find out I could not shoot them at my range. Then just recently, and this is the order I want to speak about, I did it again. I ordered something called boattail ammo. I realized I couldn’t use that at my range either. So I called and asked to see if there’s any way to change it simply because I just put the order in. She looked and she said they’re pretty fast down there. And then the bad news, she said she wasn’t able to do anything about it. Well, I end up getting my order. Low and behold, she switched it out for the regular FMJ without even telling me. I was so grateful because I didn’t wanna have $1000 worth of ammo I couldn’t use. You guys have great customer service and I really appreciate all the help!

Shoots good, fair price. These didn't appear new, as advertised, due to some discoloration and denting, but they seem perfectly good and serviceable.

Greg said:
I got 800 rounds and I’ve gotten 10 squib rounds out of 3 of the 4 box’s i got. Mind you i have only shot about 100 rounds of the 800 i got.

Steven said:
The Ammo performed great. Consistent groups and accuracy. I experienced zero failures in the 300 rounds I fired. I used the ammo in a 1/9 twist barrel and Zerroed and Primary Arms LPVO in just 12 rounds. Once zeroed my shots stayed withing the 300 meter silhouette center mass circle. I'm verry impresssd. I did know what to expect since I always use the higher grain green tip from winchester. Many say you need a 1/12 twist barrel to get good performance from this ammo; I disagree.

I just bought a Colt LE6920 5.65 caliber. The closest thing I ever shot was my M16 when I was in the Army during the Vietnam era -- a long time ago. So my review is not based on a comparison with any other ammo brand in this caliber. I bought Winchester because it is a known brand, is labeled for target use, and I feel it was available for a good price here on Ammo.com. I know there are some premium brands, which I will try eventually, and there are lots of brands I never heard of. Some of them may be good, I just don't know anything about them yet. I'm giving the Winchester 5.56 target ammo five stars in each category because my shots were consistently within one inch of the bullseye at 25 and 50 yards. That I hit the target at all at 100 yards I will count as okay because I didn't have a scope and I could just barely make out the 100-yard target with my not-so-good-as-when-I-was-20 eyesight. I qualified "sharpshooter" when I was in the Army, having missed "expert" by one shot. It makes me happy that this Colt M4 is as accurate, if not more so, than my Army M-16. Good ammo should give consistent results. This Winchester target brand delivers for me.

Great service!

Jaden said:
Shot 30 rounds and it works well. It's nothing fancy but it's great for range shooting. Very pleased with it considering how cheap the price per round was. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to practice some drills with an AR.

Wiley said:
Great prices fast shipping on all their ammunition needs

Carlos said:
Used at the range and performed well. Accurate rounds for the range
-
Mac said:
I’ve used PPU off and on, when available, for years. Tight groups at 200yds with a 1:9 twist barrel. Burns very clean, it is military grade Ammo.
-
Karl said:
For the price I'd say a good purchase. Out of 200 rounds maybe around 15-20 rounds that I'd assume had bad primers and didn't fire.
-
BWalter82 said:
This ammo is clean firing, accurate to 2 moa, and I never had a problem in any of my rifles; probably the "best bang" for the buck out there!
-
Sam said:
This ammo is low cost, performs okay, but will dirty up your bore real quick. Advise cleaning more frequently with this ammo.

Chris said:
No jams or any major malfunctions

BigDaddyJohn said:
These shot very well out of my firearm and not one of them had a feed problem or ejection issue. I shot about 300 rounds and it was pretty reliable. One of the best range day loads in my opinion
-
Jetson said:
Goes bang, burns clean, shoots straight no ftf’s or any other issues. I’d trust my life to it. Gonna get more.

Christian said:
Shot 100 rounds through my new AR-15 and everything was flawless. Very happy with the service, delivery time and quality of the Ammo.

Capt AR said:
Spent 30 rounds @ 100 yrs.Fired prefect and only a couple off Mark.

Chris said:
I bought 500 rounds of the 556 FMJ out of the first few boxes (60 rounds) 11 have failed to fire. Firing pin struck the bullet but no boom. Will not be purchasing again.
-
Jamms said:
Price was pretty good. But constant jamming and feeding issues in all 3 of our weapons. Casings seem soft. Not sure about that though. They did stay in decent groupings on the target at 50 yards. Oh and the damn boxes all came apart, had to just dump em all into a bucket. Frustrating because I like to just take one or two boxes to the range. But anyway.
-
Signman said:
Jammed every other round. Very disappointed.
-
Def said:
This stuff is cheap, and I value that. The last 4 boxes I bought are super dirty and not polished like it is 40 year old military surplus. You can see the annealing, and it looks like it came out of an ammo can 40 yrs ago . The consistency is all over the place and I wonder why.
-
Jack said:
I have always put M193 as offensive/defensive ammo, which is why I purchased it in the first place. I tested 80 rounds at 25, 50, 100, and 300 yards with a Sig M400, it was dead on accurate.

Been using Hornady for years. All caliber across the board. Defense or target. Never fails to perform. I only shop Ammo.com. my opinion, theres no better place to purchase ammunition, period.

Joey said:
No issues!

Jerry said:
As above, I was grateful to get quality ammo and at a reliable, fast delivery. I'll buy as much as I can stand in the future. A really great price.

Great Ammo; Pricey

Same ammo as all the rest, most I've ever paid .
-
Vlastimir said:
Every 3rd to 5th round had a deep seated primer. For the value it was a good deal but nothing is worse on range day than pulling the trigger and no bang.
-
John said:
I think these guys might be the best kept secret in the industry. They’re a legitimate military supplier for multiple EU countries, so the M193 designation on the box is MIL SPEC not just a marketting buzzword. I’ve probably bought and fired more than 5,000 rounds of Igman, and I’ve never had a single failure. It’s accurate, runs clean, and always works. There isn’t much more you can ask for from an ammo manufacturer.

Justis said:
I've used Winchester rounds in other calibers and never been disappointed by them, and I can say the same for these 5.56 rounds. Excellent training rounds, good pricing, and I've had no issues with the first 450 rounds I've used so far.

Jacob said:
The rounds were dirty, with some having excess powder or some kind of processing oil/grease on them. A few boxes had 18/19 rounds in them. Worked well in my rifle after 500 rounds so far and were a good price.
