[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1831475, member: 24428"] I just saw a 14.9mm SOP for the first time... that is one heck of a round. I'd love to shoot one.. ------------------------ [B]14.9mm SOP Rifle & Cartridge[/B] The 14.9mm SOP is an incredible extra long range rifle project that a number of people at Snipers Hide have been collaborating on. The huge rifle fires a very long and heavy projectile with a high ballistic coefficient giving it extreme accuracy. It has 0.5 MOA accuracy at 3000 yards and remains supersonic out to 5400 yards (5 kilometers).
