This is not an accurate representation of reality.
Some people have agendas, the guns don't care one way or the other.
If you can get a 155 up into the 2850 fps range (perfectly possible in 20") the 155s will make it to 1000 yards.
The 155s prefer to be over 2950 fps and make it to 1125 yards supersonically, but this generally takes 22"-24" barrels.
The 155s can be pushed over 3025 fps in 30" barrels (typically PALMA stuff.) The 155 SMK (2155) required this kind of velocity to be a good PALMA round.
How do they compare to the 168 smk & 175 smk or amax & vld bullets?
compared to 175 SMK; 155s have less drop, more windage.
compared to 168 SMK; 155s blow these away outside of 400 yards.
