Best Answer

Which 5.56 cartridge are you referring to? The American 5.56 cartridge is the 55 grain M193, which has been phased out of military service, although a handful of countries may still use it (such as South Africa, which is now going to the 62 grain NATO cartridge). The 62 grain 5.56 NATO cartridge is Belgian in origin.

The 62 grain SS109/M855 outperforms the 5.45x39 cartridge, but the best performing one of all is the 77 grain Mk 262 cartridge, which is used for Special Purpose variants of the M16, and may eventually replace the 5.56 NATO cartridge.
