Reloading for the .223/5.56 is fun and easy and much less expensive, except often for the chore of swaging the crimp on the primer pocket.
The 55FMJBT as found in the original M193 loading for the M16 is every bit as lethal as the 55SP. It's the 62 gr. M855 "green tip" that tends to poke a .224"-sized hole in the target.
