The author's rating method is based on 3 metrics: power, accuracy, and recoil.
Of course there are other variables.

Just another thread designed to go off topic immediately LOL
If there was an apocalypse and I had to gather all the numbnuts in my neighborhood and hand them a rifle, I would give each of them an AK.
Real world people, real world.

Of course there are other variables. And other calibers. Has anyone tried the 6.5 Grendel? Asking for a friend.

They both have their purpose. Saying that one is better than the other is silly.

“Which is the better long-distance round: 5.56 or 7.62?”
You’re kidding!

Neither is an effective long distance round.

Hold on a minute, I’ve got a rifle in each caliber.
Bang .......Baang!
Hmmm.....inconclusive.
I need more ammo for testing. (opening browser tab to Lucky Gunner)

One variable should be the age & experience of the shooter...
At my advanced age, everything is “long distance”...
While we (and children. grandchildren, & great grandchildren) have a virtual Baskin & Robbins of tools to chose from, the first one I would grab for that 400-500 shot will be my trusty M-1 Garand and for anything longer than 500 it will be time for the AR-50 ...
7.62 and .223 will certainly get their turn as distances diminish...
If the range targets have helmets and/or body armor, definitely 7.62...
May not penetrate, but will definitely tip them range targets over...

For most common situations, better than 7.62x39 but not x51. 5.56 75gr or heavier match can reach out pretty good. 6.5 Creedmoor wins, BTW. ;)

A buddy has an AR in 7.62x39—the AK round. Shoots pretty good. Kick ain’t bad at all. I think he played with the buffer tube recoil spring and weight, though.
