The Army’s new M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round is performing well under combat conditions in Afghanistan, but how does it stack up during a rifle competition?
The Army recently put it to the test against some of the best marksmen in the world at the 2012 National Rifle Association’s National High-Power Rifle Championship at Camp Perry, Ohio, in early August.
The Army’s newest 5.56mm ammunition was initially fielded to troops in Afghanistan in July 2010 as a replacement for M8855 “green tip” ammo.
