looking at the military ammo  selection

5-175 Ball M855,SB,Super Bullet,62gr

They have several 5.56mm loadings M193,M855,Tracers ,link ammo etc!

So I know what the SS109 bullet is  !    lead core with a 10.5gr mild steel insert


Whats up with the M855 SB,Super bullet??

Maybe they do not know their periodic table?



Sb = Antimony

I'm going to take a stab at Super Bullet is their own subjective comment on an SS109 bullet.  

I'm also going to take a stab at SB being Sellier & Belliot.

If SB does indeed mean "Super Bullet", then they might have gotten their hands on some M855A1 with the new projectile.

FWIW
