He was a good shot and knew where to put his rounds, but he had no problem killing bull elephants with that rifle. Lets put it another way - walk out 400 yards - let me shoot you with a 16" barrel AR15 with 55 grain m193 - then walk back here and tell the rest of us how you feel. You say: "that's not the point". No that is exactly the point - a .22lr will kill you deader than a doorknob, and a 5.56 NATO round is more powerful than a .22 out to very long range.

However its disheartening to read that it loses any fragmentation after 25 yards. <br /><br />Will it still possess enough velocity to penetrate a soft target such as deer or coyote at 50+ yards? What about walls, body armour, car doors, etc.<br /><br />Guess I need to get some watermelons and some scrap car parts and see what she will do at 50+ yards. <br /><br />I feel like I want to stop thinking of the .223 SBR as a defense weapon after reading this, and either go with 7.62 in the next build.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343763509196610443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070786324546788238.post-6169768242853645462016-12-30T08:16:41.069-08:002016-12-30T08:16:41.069-08:00Like it was said before, FMJ rounds are for penetr...Like it was said before, FMJ rounds are for penetration, and that is why the military uses them. While it is possible that the round may ricochet off bones, that is dependent upon the weight of the round, and the energy left propelling the round. Liberty Civil Defense rounds are monolithic copper rounds that are designed to fragment violently after entering a wet substance. FMJ's are designed to defeat light body armor/thick clothing at farther ranges. Also, FMJ's are known to feed well, whereas different types of hollow points may not. FMJ ammo is also cheaper, and I think that is why the government uses it. I believe they feel it is 'good enough' for their intended use. <br />But to reiterate what has already been said:<br />1. Don't base your ammo selection on tumbling because it cannot be counted on.<br />2. Buy ammo intended for the purpose you are using it.<br />3. Piercing a vital organ with a FMJ is far more effective than missing with a hollow point.ArmyGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591965385679941316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070786324546788238.post-33136622607326080062016-09-07T01:38:09.314-07:002016-09-07T01:38:09.314-07:00Thanks for the post, people can also take help for...Thanks for the post, people can also take help form the <a href="http://www.bostonfirearms.com" rel="nofollow">MA Gun License</a> to know about the guns and firearms with proper training and licensing.

Fragmentation of FMJ Nato rounds does happen below 2700fps, with 2500fps being the cut off, however with the decreasing velocity, the amount/level of fragmentation decreases as well. Putting the bullet in the right spot is more important than its fragmenting capabilities, IMO. Though it is nice to have the devastating capability that fragmentation gives. If yer not in a organized military establishment, you have a lot of other, effective bullet style options available to use for... whatever situation that develops. Something to think about... ANY hit is an effective hit, some hits are more effective than others. If your enemy is bleeding their life onto the ground... you are winning. <br /><br />Jake, Buy 5.56 if you can, .223 only if you cant buy 5.56. Why would you buy lesser powered ammo for others poor choices? I have a list, Will you buy some ammo for me also? lol.

If you want to look at fragmentation capabilities, look at hollow points and soft points. FMJ is meant to go far to penetrate and pierce targets (if lead core it won't pierce steel armor usually, but if XM855 steel core it becomes MUCH more effective to pierce targets and light armor).<br /><br />If you are buying 55gr ammo, I would suggest getting .223 so you'll never be in a situation where you give someone with a .223, 5.56 ammo and it could be dangerous.<br /><br />As for higher loads, 62Gr steel core is an excellent round. I am limited to a 16" 1:9 twist barrel, so I target shoot with .223. To minimize ballistic differences, my second choice of ammunition is 60 Gr Soft point, an effective hunting round and self-defense round.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749824597220018539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070786324546788238.post-2650907301720061152015-06-19T23:16:20.756-07:002015-06-19T23:16:20.756-07:00Accuracy doesn't matter for if you are using s...Accuracy doesn't matter for if you are using shotguns.
