C Treehouse does not have valid information.

Per my Nosler Reloading Manual:

NATO .556, 55 grain @ 3000 fps muzzle velocity for flight time:

100 yrd @ 0.11 seconds

200 yrd @ 0.23 seconds

Commercial 223, 55 grain @ 3200 fps muzzle velocity flight time:

100 yrd @ 0.10 seconds

200 yrd @ 0.21 seconds

For kicks, a 223/.556, 55 grain pill flight time greater than 0.30 seconds for 130-140 yards would have a muzzle velocity less than 2400 fps.

That or perhaps the bullet that grazed President Trump didn't originate from the dead perp's rifle. But that would be crazy, right?
