Since they don't define "effective", the statistic is meaningless anyway, so don't worry about it.

If they are talking about expansion potential I would say that 200 yards sounds about right. As far as hitting something with it, the range will be a lot longer. But I agree with Troy, unless they really define what "effective" is, the number is meaningless.

I'm glad to hear that---for that much $$$, the round had better extend the effective range at least another 100 yards over the 150 yard fragmentation range of the standard .223 rounds (2700fps, yada yada) in a 16" bbl.
Someone needs to shoot some gelatin at about 250 yards with it now...ammo oracle??? |

That is unlikely, I think. While the 75gr ammo is significantly better than the "standard" ammo (meaning M855), it probably isn't that dramatic of an improvement over M193 in terms of fragmentation distance. Based on the limited data available, it probably has a 40-50m advantage over M193, meaning 90-100m over M855. Again, that's purely my extrapolation, and MAY WELL be incorrect. Anyway, always keep in mind that any current military testing is using M855, NOT M193, as its baseline or standard. Adjust your comparisons with M193 accordingly. -Troy |
