As older green tipped 5.56mm supplies are dwindling, the Army has begun to use the new brown-tipped M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round for training as well as combat operations where it has been in use for a while. The round was used in the recent Camp Perry competition without any performance problems.
Army.mil reports ...
Harbison was happy with the performance of the EPR, with his scores showing that the Army's newest general purpose round is accurate enough to go toe-to-toe in this competition with the best ammo that can be bought or hand-loaded.
"Using the Army's newest general purpose ammo was not a hindrance in this competition," Harbison said. "When I did my part, the M855A1 was right on target all week."
"I don't think I could have scored any higher if I was using match grade competition ammunition," Harbison added.
