Jeff, I checked out my ballistics charts after we talked...the specs for a 174 grain round ad 2400 odd feet per second weren't too good compared to a lot of rounds of today...I can see how it is obsolete now after the comparison.
Big Jake, what Jeff_850 said is true, I can see a lot of situations where it just wouldn't be good enough. Such as with only part of a target visable at 6-800 M....say just a head or a crouching man...or shooting into some wind or such
