I have found M193 to be more consistently accurate than M855/SS103 'Green Tip.'
I think it has something to do with imperfect placement of the mild steel penetrator within the round.

M855 is the Nickelback of 5.56mm rounds. Everyone likes to tear it down.
In my rifle, with a 1:7 twist barrel, Federal M855 groups better than Federal M193 at 200 yards. IMI 77g match does (unsurprisingly) better than both.
I like M855 as a “do everything” round, that’s cheap enough to plink, plus accurate and effective enough against people and armor.
