Do you claim to be better with M1A?

If so, you're a liar.

Yeah, NATO M855/SS109 isn't capable of that

Man! You are on FIRE today! Lol

I've never driven an M1A but I'm sure they can reach out to 2500 meters or so...

There is a major difference in maximum effective range for the M-855 vs maximum range.
Maximum effective range is defined as the range the bullet will perform as designed. Maximum range is how far the bullet will travel.

What impresses me is no wind.
Now that 77gr bullet from his barrel may reach 3000 fps.. it is subsonic before 1000 yards.. it carries the path well as it goes into sub sonic.
around 881 fps at 1400 yards probably less as the bullet loses BC the slower it goes.. and 133 energy at 1400 yards.

Now that is as much energy as most 22 rim fires at the muzzle.
With proper shot placement it will kill you dead.
I agree with Dennis but you will need some math to find out all the numbers.


I was flabbergasted the other day when I shot my .223 with 55 v max at 500 yards.. I thought yea right this flat base bullet will be all over the place no way will I hit that 18x12 steel plate.
It did 8x better than my copper fouled .308. The .308 was a fail in grand fashion.
3 hits in a row with the .223 and a miss then 4 more hits in a row. Savage axis sporting a Tasco scope on the .223.
I will no longer under estimate the little .223.

That doesn't surprise me.

Before Thunderbird Range closed down, I could hit the 18" steel at 400 yards consistently using TulAmmo 55gr and a cheapo 2moa 1x red dot.
