The heavier 7.62 surely bucks wind better than the 5.56, and 7.62 is the original caliber of the AR platform. Animal hunters discovered that the .270 has a better ballistic coefficient than the 7.62. The .50 BMG is just a scaled up .30-06’, but the .416 Barret my be the most efficient long range killer.
and the .260 Remington has better BC than the .270 etc...
That and $4 will get you a mocha at starbucks.
This thread started as a bash the M-110 re-adopt the M-14.
I attempted to address the fact that the M-14 is not ideal for the specified role.
It has now, in the fashion of FR, devolved into the “my —— is bigger than your —— gun post.”
I leave this thread now to the inevitable hordes of bubba fans to follow.
