I bought some green tip S&B SS109 5.56 ammo and was wondering is this ammo really considered armor piercing? I was suprised the ammo could be ordered online. Has anyone tested this ammo for penetration?

No, but it will do it to a degree. I shot through a quarter inch steel plate with SS109 Lake City ammo. It was a steel spinner targer. My 55gr ammo bounced off and made it spin but the SS109 went right through the steel.





Karma? Karma is just justice without the satisfaction.

You can put a magnet to the bullet tip, and at least find out if it has the steel core, like SS109.
