5.56 77 Grain HP, as effective a sniper round as 308. 7.62?! Your thoughts

I hate to point this obvious question,....When was the last time ANYONE ever actually shot at another human being. Lets face it, the most we will ever see any threat, for the vast majority of us, is the menacing target at the range. IMHO, get what you can afford and be proficient with it. If it ever comes to SHFT where we have to consider shooting at a person (as a citizen and I hope to God it never comes to that), we have far more significant issues to deal with.

Here's a detailed and long-winded answer...

































NO.




You can't change physics.

nothing more needed to be said.. unless OP wants a lesson in ballistics..

[Norsemen308]

uhhh.... no....

sorry laws of physics is what I am gonna stay with.. if this was true dont you believe the military would have made this happen already??? the military drops millions of dollars EACH YEAR... on weapon research... especially with all the crap the taliban has been giving them with making sure enemy positions are at the magical 600 mark....

762x51 will not be unseated for A LONG TIME.... the EBR that they are rolling out with now a days proves theyw ill not be going away any time soon...

NO! The 77 Grain round will carry more punch & transfer more kinetic energy upon impact. It doesn't have a bearing on accuracy.

............

less wind drift ( though not by much ), and longer bearing surface depending on bullet construction can both lead to better accuracy.

I dunno, nothing says "Im going to ruin your F**k'in day" like a .30 cal bullet to me.

The .22LR might have something to say about that! I believe that round has ruined the days of more people than any other caliber.
