Does the US Army still use the M193 Ball (55 gr. bullet) or have they switched completely over to the heavier bullet loads?

I had been recently thinking about this too and had thought that yes the .55 grain ammo must have been used up and replaced in stock by newer ammo in a natural process years ago. I reckon there might be some National Guard units still armed with older M16A1 or perhaps USAF but I would bet by now it is not a re-order item and is sporadicly found at best; if at all.

M193 is still around in large bulk and quantity. I still prefer the 55gr FMJ over the heavier myself.
