Looking for Insights on Winchester 5.56 Green Tip (.mil-spec M855)

I’m considering purchasing the Winchester 5.56 Green Tip in bulk (500 rounds) and would love to hear from anyone who has used this ammunition! Specifically, I’m interested in:

  • Performance: How does it perform at the range? Any specific feedback on accuracy and consistency?
  • Suitability: Have you used it for training, competitions, or other shooting activities? Did it meet your expectations?
  • Pricing: What are some good deals you’ve found? Are there vendors you would recommend or avoid?

I’ve read some specs online, but real user experiences are invaluable.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

That’s great to hear! I’m curious, how does it perform at longer distances?

I shot some at 300 yards last week, and I found the accuracy to be surprisingly good for the price point. I grouped well with it.

5

Nice! Did you notice any drop or drift at that distance?

6

Not much drop at all! Consistent velocity helps. I tested it against some other brands and it held up really well.

I sometimes hear mixed reviews regarding the accuracy; I wonder how it performs in real-world situations compared to the specs.

I get that! But for me, it’s been reliable overall, even in varying weather conditions.

I’ve been using the Winchester 5.56 green tip 500 rounds for a while now. I’ve experienced no misfires or jams in my AR-15. Really reliable ammo overall!

16

That’s good to hear! I’ve been curious about their performance. How did they do in your accuracy tests?

17

I had a buddy who used them and said he had a couple of jams in his Sig rifle, but it seemed like an isolated issue.

18

That’s interesting, were those jams consistent or just a one-off problem? Reliability is key.

I’ve had great results with the Winchester green tip in my M4. No misfires whatsoever. Definitely worth it for the price point.
