Is this 5.45mm ammo considered AP?

The M855 isn't considered AP, so I am wondering, is the 5.45mm ammo with steel in it considered AP?

With the price of .223 ammo these days, I'd buy another rifle just to be able to shoot this stuff.

I bought a Wasr-2 last week along with a can of the ammo at J&G just for that reason. At about 13cents per round, I figured 2 cans pays for the rifle in ammo cost saved.

I too would like to see the answer to your question even though it will have no effect on me.

lots of ranges do not allow steel core

so be sure you can use it somewhere

There is armor piercing, and there is steel core. One is not the other.

We don't like AP ammo at our range, simply because of steel target life. However, steel core is allowed...just be sensible during the dry season.
