Good cartridge, but not supersonic to 1300yds even with the 90gr VLD that they aren't loading.
The number they're showing is 2700fps mv, but we don't know the barrel length. Some say 20", some say 24".
Either way, it's a factory option for AR15s backed by Federal, so for these gas gun matches and varmints, it makes a great round.
I would have liked to see a 6mm but with good brass. Somebody needs to jump on the 6mm Grendel factory ammo support wagon for competitors.
None of the .224 bullets come close to the 6mm target bullets.
