Every M40 rifle uses Custom ammo loaded just for that rifle by the armorers at the Marine Armory in Quanico VA. They use the Sierra 175gr Match-King and Lake City Match brass. The 175 Match-King will remain supersonic out to1000 yds when fired from the 7.62 NATO. Bad news for the bad guys!!!

P.S. Evan03, Take easy it on the Marines. I'd be willing to bet that the "average marine sniper" can out-shoot you any day,any time,
any weather,anywhere with any rifle. And we're not even talking
about the "good snipers". I know. My step-cousin has been one for 14 yrs. I think that he currently with the 3rd Force Recon Batt.
I use him when I get a chance to see how good a new rifle will
shoot. Most of my rifles shoot better than I do.
