So I picked up the latest edition of Tactical Weapons magazine and I flipped to page 56 for the article labeled “Best of the Bolts”. As I started to go through the specs I noticed that the Effective Range on several of the weapons were different even though most of the specs were pretty close to the same, case in point:
FR-F2 rifle
Caliber 7.62X51mm
Barrel length 25.5”
Twist Rate 1:11.5
Effective range: 600 meters
M24 rifle
Caliber 7.62X51mm
Barrel length 24”
Twist rate 1:11.5
Effective Range 800 meters
There are a couple of more examples within the magazine that just begs me to ask where do they get the “Effective Range” information from…. The manufacturer’s specs?... personal opinion?
