Question for anyone with a knowledge of firearms?

July 26th, 2010 by eranio

1. Why do many foreign military sniper rifles use 7.62 bullets instead of the lighter, more accurate 5.56 round?

2. What is the difference between rounds such as 7.62×51, 7.62×54, 303… ect. I just want to know what the differences are, no matter how small. Also differences b/w the 5.56 rounds/.223 ect

3. .223 is the same thing as 5.56, right? just like .303 is same as 7.62?

4. Is the recoil of a .45 the same as .357mag? which is bigger if not equal?

What Range Are Military Sniper Rifles Zeroed?

November 6th, 2009 by eranio

I’m interested in military tactics and am curious as to what range military sniper rifles (like the M24 or the M40A1) are zeroed at. 100 yards? 200 yards? Thanks!
