[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 899866, member: 25383"] back in the 1970's the Army played around with a 5.56 necked up to 6mm using an 85 grain bullet. They said they were getting close to 2900 fps. The bullets used in the testing were all from Hornaday (just generic hunting bullets). They were said to have 7.62x51 ballistics from an M16. Carter killed the project when he became President. The project looked like a winner all the way around, and had quite a bit more power than the standard 5.56 using 53 grain bullets. The main goal was to be able to bust thru the magazine chest pack that folks using an AK 47 had. From what I hear it would do it at 250 yards. gary [/QUOTE]
