So for the purpose of keeping things...

    M855A1 New 5.56 military round. Huge progress in 223 rem. Anyone has tried this?

    I never felt shorthanded with the 5.56 but some situations could become a little "tricky". I think that after all Stoner was also right about the small form factor round and caliber even after so much criticism but he was over 50 years ahead of his time. The new solid bullet designs are...

I was putting together a note with some long range simulation scenarios for a friend and I figured lets put some of the number here in a post. 22LR it is prefect for long range simulation that can be done in 200 and 300 yard range if you...
