Well the marine corps preaches max effective range on a point Target (man sized) is 550m and max effective on area Target (group of people) is 800m. You must put into consideration irons and ball ammo and our KD is 500 with silhouette tgts, hitting center chest 10 times out of 10. They also say m14 service grade is 500m but when you get into match grade on both rifles your out into corealus effect. What do I prefer... well I'm a firm believer in the big bullet theory. So id like to say m14; however in combat I liked my lightweight m4 and I think most agree. Plus followup are much quicker on the 5.56 side of the house. I am partial to the m4 except the fact that we use grounding bullets? The 6.5 grendel maybe the answer.
