From nij.gov:

"Level IV armor has been tested to stop .30cal steel core armor piercing rifle ammunition. Ammunition 5.56mm/.223 Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) has a lead core. Level III armor or greater is the best choice for protection among the armors on the CPL. Ammunition 5.56mm/.223 Green Tip Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition has a part steel core. Level IV armor is the best choice for protection among the armors on the CPL."
