- You people are a bunch of (Fackler worshippers/idiots/jello fans/armchair theorists/mindless fools). How in the world can you expect me to believe (insert Ammo Oracle answer here)? You have all lost touch with the working man shooter with your lofty theories and ivory tower "science." I know for a fact that my super special homemade round will tear up badguys because it tears up potroast like there is no tomorrow. Why should I believe anything on here?

What brands of M855 are available?

Introduction

Again, Lake City and Winchester are the primary suppliers of M855. Winchester does not sell M855 commercially, though they do make it available to police departments.

IMI M855 is available from several sources and other foreign surplus ammo is available from time to time. Recent brands have been Santa Barbara from Spain, Sellier & Bellot from the Czech Republic and Radway Green SS-109 from England. It should be noted, though that the Radway Green ammo is underloaded specifically to function in their horrible L-85A (SA80) bullpup rifle and may not cycle in other rifles.
