<<Good point. How can we expect to take a guy with a shotgun 6,000 miles away if we can't stop a guy with a rifle 10 miles from Washington? Huh? :-) >> That sniper is good at it. How he got away yesterday is mind boggling. I've seen some articles about how this super cartridge developed for the military shouldn't have been allowed into the civilian market. It's a Remington .223, a mediocre varmit round and the army adopted it. They over stabilized the twist in the barrels of the 16s which caused it to tumble. This guy has made single shot hits at up to 650 yards. Amazing for the round. Most SWAT team snipers and the army snipers have gone to the .300 Winchester Mag.
