[QUOTE="thuban, post: 893876, member: 75020"] 300 yards/meters with iron sights using crappy military ball ammo and crappy GI rifles while in a supported position is not an overly difficult shot. Off hand is more difficult for sure. using the Hornady ballistics calculator, it looks like that would only be about 14" of drop at 350 yards assuming 3,200 fps at the muzzle. That's not a big deal. That would also be about 1,948 fps and 464 ft/lbs of energy at 350 yards. That's roughly equivalent to a .45 acp+p round at point blank range which is known to be a damaging round so that kind of wound seems possible from that kind of energy though not guaranteed imo. The 55 grain FMJ is known to create more damaging wounds than the 62 grain ss109 projectile from carbine length barrels after having shed the bulk of its initial velocity at longer ranges which again suggests that the wound is possible. My conclusion: The shot itself is possible. It's very possible with a supported position of some kind. The wound is also possible though not any kind of guaranteed using that ammo imo. [/QUOTE]
