Overview
Built for shooters who want a practical 5.56 NATO option in a compact 20-round box, this Winchester White Box load centers on the M855 “Green Tip” projectile with a steel core and penetrating tip. It suits range use and other applications where a military-spec cartridge is appropriate, while keeping the presentation straightforward and budget-conscious. As noted by the retailer, this 5.56x45mm round is not recommended for rifles chambered only for .223 Remington because of the higher pressure.
