Has anyone seen (or done) gelatin testing at long range (actual or simulated) to determine a weapon's lethality at range?
Curious about effective ranges of various common firearms at longer than 300 yards.

what do you call "long range" and with what gun and load? those of us who hunt have done the ultimate testing. jello means nearly nothing. put 60 gr Nosler partition softpoints in your silenced M4 and be done with it. what matters is speed of hitting and smart tactics.

there's no reason to settle for ball ammo unless you're military. 16" barrels and less mean a lot less velocity than 20-24" barrels with which the factories evaluate bullet speeds. I'd never settle for ball ammo, especially not the 62 gr loan, if I could possibly help it, especially with the short barrels. However, such ranges mean that the guy can;t hit you after being hit, so unless you plan to ride out to him on a bike, and scalp him, you don't need a swift stop at such ranges, either. get some Nosler Partition deep penetrating softpoint 60 gr bullets and reload, man. especially for a short barrel. Get a suppressor and luminous sight inserts, a trigger job and .22lr conversion unit (foraging and practice). With the Aquila 60 gr subsonic .22 ammo and 223 "can", it is as quiet as a BB gun. Plenty of you tube videos about it. No flash at night with 223, and fullcharge 223 sounds like a regular 22 rifle. So you do more practicing (with regular 22lr ammo and without the can) and a lot more hitting, faster, with much less accurate return fire from the enemy
