Sorry for the newbie question, but can someone confirm for me if green tip  Ammo is still legal in NJ

i’m trying to settle a simple wager between friends.  With all the recent bills being tossed around I don’t know anymore.

thanks for the help.

Yes, green tip .223/5.56 (M855) IS STILL LEGAL IN NJ AND THE USA.

It is NOT armor piercing under Federal or NJ definitions.

AFAIK, green tip, M855, is still legal. However, finding a range that allows you to shoot it may be a problem though.

The ranges wont let you shoot it because the ammo is called “M855 Penetrator.” They think that means it is armor piercing when which it is not. Well it is body-armor piercing which most rifle rounds would do. 

While im sure it's not allowed at pretty much any indoor range, a dirt berm doesn't care if it's having green tips shot at it.  Should be good to go at most outdoor ranges.
