New M855A1 Ammo

Again....bad tacos.

So we need a bullet that will accurately and reliably punch 1/4" steel, and still prove consistently lethal on a "teeny-tiny-torsoed Taliban-y".  Anybody ready to just stop screwing with teeny bullets and try a different caliber/rifle/bullet combination?  6.8 SPC?  Or, gee, maybe something in .308 win/7.62x51?  

I'm guessing those of us on this forum might be able to show them some nice examples/samples/suggestions.....    

So far, the fookers haven't asked me for my opinion....Surprise!   Possibly because I'm not a committee that makes a poor decision after years of "planning and research".

On a 6.8scp note .... I shot some 150gr - .27caliber projectiles at they cycled fine over the weekend.

Wow, that's a pretty weighty 6.8 bullet.  What's the brief specs on the rifle?  (Sorry, don't intend to put a wrinkle in the path of this thread....)  Bullet type?  COL?

Thanks.  I gotta try working something up with that bullet, just for kicks and giggles.

We now return this thread to its previous owners with our thanks, apologies for the interruption, and undying admiration for all concerned..........

More fat in a human. Hmm does that mean an even bigger bang when it hits? #thatsgunnahurt

if that's the case shooting my chunky ass would result in an explosion equal to a low yield nuke... ;-)

 

as for the 150 gr .277 bullets you can get them pointy or round nosed, maybe for sub-sonic loads...

Blue, if you're getting tacos from a truck then that's your problem! NEVER buy mexican food from a truck or convenience store! LMAO!

those are the two best places in Wisconsin lol
