This guide, presented by Caleb from Brownells, clarifies which 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition types are typically not allowed at local shooting ranges. It highlights that M855 'green tip' (penetrator) and M856 'red tip' (tracer) rounds are often prohibited due to potential damage to steel targets and fire hazards, respectively. Standard lead-core ammunition is generally safe, while M995 'black tip' (armor-piercing) is strictly forbidden. Adhering to these common range restrictions is crucial for safety and compliance.
