[Shooter 2.5]

i guess i'm going to have to go look up the AMU manual that CLEARLY states that the MAX EFFECTIVE range of BOTH M2 ball (150 grains) AND the "NM target" loads (168 grains) are 200 METERS greater than the standard for M14 rounds, since you don't seem to be able to do so. will that please you????

You want to match a target load to the military load? That may be why you're getting the wrong numbers. That would be like matching M59 ball to M72 Match.

Try matching the M2 ball with the M59 ball.

Try matching the M2 ball with the M59 ball.

Better, try matching the M2 .30-06 ball with M80 7,62 NATO ball. Or a comparison of the M72 National Match .30-06 loaded with a 172/173 grain bullet with the 7.62 NATO M118 Special ball with the same bullet.

The 168-grain Match King used in the M852 match load standard since the M118 NM loading was discontinued in 1995 was developed as the *Mexican Match* ammo used by pulling the 172-grain bullet from a [then XM118] match round, as used at the international shoot at Mexico City in '62, hence the name.

i said BOTH M2 & NM were, according to the AMU manual, superior in range to the M59.
