Unfortunately, a mod has to delete the post in order to ban someone on this forum. Or at least that is the only way I have found.

Also, we have gone over the Half Kilometer article a couple of times. Also the kinetic energy of issued ammo and match grade 6.5 bullets and found the comparisons to be flawed because the military is not about to buy match grade bullets and issue them as ball ammo. I know that guys have thrown around the notion of two Grendel loads, one for a MG that would use a 140 grain bullet and one for the rifleman with a bullet weighing around 120 grains.
Considering the rifleman and this theoretical 120 grain bullet, it will probably have a BC of about .300 at best and a MV of about 2450 at best from a issued carbine. Its accuracy potential with a service grade carbine would be at best, 3 minutes.
What I would like to know is what exactly is stopping a rifleman from shooting at something that is 500 meters away?
