The United States Military adopted the 62gr to replace their 55gr FMJ load in the early 1980s. It was renamed the M855 and the tips were painted green. This was done to help troops tell the difference between the new cartridge and the old M193 55gr FMJ rounds. Even though the U.S. military gradually phased out the M193 rounds when they made the switch to the M855, the tradition of painting the tips of the M855 green remains.
