Re: ATF Removes SS109 from Armor Piercing Ammunition List

From www.atf.gov site:

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CARTRIDGES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE DEFINITION OF ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION:

5.56MM (.223) SS109 and M855 Ammunition, Identified by a green coating on the projectile tip. 8)

See here for others:

Does this mean that we can have frank discussions about the SS109 now? :grin:

did you get this from my thread on arfcom? I couldn't think of the proper way to bring it up per the sticky after the thread was locked.

does anyone have an idea of the weight of the jacket on the SS190 bullet?

It's not armor piercing because of the aluminum core: "tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium"
