[QUOTE="aramarine6, post: 789173, member: 24685"] 600 yards for your average joe. However if you have a good understanding of external ballistics and wind deflection I'd say 1200. Extremely proficient shooters knowing exactly what the wind is doing and how fast it is moving, I'd say 1600 yards. Some will say 800-1000 because they are citing military publications that state the "max effective range" of the 7.62X51 NATO is 800(US Army) to 1000(USMC) I personally believe that the military is severly down playing the capablilties of this round. I'd prefer the 175 grain projectiles past 600 tho. The projectile is more than capable. But like stated above.... Are you? At those distances the slightest shooter error will be magnified. [/QUOTE]
