bkhoward,
Back in the corps days a typical rifle qualification ended with 10 shots at the 500 yrd line at a full human outline target. A good shooter could max this, because it was shot in the prone position. Standard M-16A1, standard ammo. This should tell you that even a stock rifle is sweet. It always depends on the shooter. |

Maximum range for you to be able to hit anything without looking like an archer or maximum effective range?
Two different things. |

I know in the US Army manuals the maximum range is 3534 meters, but maximum effective range is 550 meters for a point target and 800 meters for an area target.

With a barrel twist rate of 1 turn in 9 inches and 60-62 gr. bullets and a man on the trigger that can hit a pop can at 150 yds, max effective should be 800 yds.
