[QUOTE="MadDawg, post: 1176270, member: 11627"] Not being a jerk, being first hand knowledgeable rather than quoting paper stats as facts. Specialized 5.56 rifles can and do hit out to 1000, but we were not talking about ones of those were we? Super woo-whoo bullets can reach that far well on calm days, but it takes a very special twist rarely found in factory rifles. I thought I was being very generous, based on my FIRST HAND experience, in giving a factory AR 600 yards. Especially in any sort of gusty wind and compared to the 308. Now on calm early mornings when the spotter can see trace and not have to fight every gust he can get a Factory AR on at 600 enough times to feel good. try again after lunch when the thermal winds gust hard and fitfuly and the success rate drops to dammitt. But feel free to try and take me to task by quoting BCs and the success of the very cream of the 5.56 world. [/QUOTE]
