    Is it something I should buy? Am I allowed to own it? green tip but no markings on it? Not designated armor piercing or anything.

    No you are not allowed to own them, they are very illegal, let me know where I can meet you and I will take them off of your hands. To make me not feel bad I will trade you round for round of .22LR, LOL. You are good to go bud.

    They are 62gr “green tip” M855, steel core , jacketed bullets designed for the military

    my boss was asking me about it. I think it was like 350 for 1000 rds. is that a good deal?

    If I can get details I will let you know.
    If I can get some does anyone wanna split a 1000 case?

    What is the exact name of this green tip. Does the green tip mean anything?

    price was wrong. 500 for 1000 rds in resealable ammo cans, some of it on stripper clips. I am gonna get some next week. He works with the guy at WBR Sheriff Dept. If any of yall wanna split a case let me know. I dont really have 500(up to my ears in baby diapers and formula) but I can swing a 1/2 case.
