[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1458386, member: 38154"] The 30/06 Armor Piercing round had a tungsten carbide core that was longer in relation to the "tip" size of the steel core of the M855. The tip only makes up for about 1/4 of the core size in the M855 whereas the entire core of the 30 cal is the tungsten penetrator except for a small layer of lead between the core and the jacket. The tip of the M855 looks like a small triangle of steel in front of the lead core, and the 30 caliber Tungsten core looks like an actual bullet, which fits inside the copper jacket of the 30/06.
