minuteman loadout... m193 or m855?

It is my understanding that m193 is better against soft tissue because the round fragments and yaws better but obviously m193 is a better penetrator. Should I switch all of the rounds to m855 or keep them m193? another thing I was thinking about was loading every third round as m855 and the next two at m193. thoughts?

Armor wise, it will not really matter. I always try to stay consistent with my rounds, same grain and type if possible. Consistency is important, as that means more rounds on target.

Here are the NIJ ratings:

IIA is only rating for handgun rounds, so most rifle rounds would go through
III and up is rated for rifle rounds.
