rabiddawg, I am seeking what range the military would say the maximum effective range of the Grendel would be if it was a standard issued weapon. For some reasons (testing I would guess) they landed on 550 yards for the M-16. Ethical Hunting range would be a different number.
What is the test criteria to determine Maximum Effective Range? (not a personal number an expert could make but what an average Joe should be able to do) There is a range where the bullet in no longer considered lethal combined with lack of hit probability.
My ignorant wild guess is between 700 and 800 yards for the Grendel using Hornady black as the standard load.
