Note the fact that the US Army Marksmanship Unit supporting thir Rifle Team finally quit using 5.56 NATO semiautos for 1000 yard competition. Folks using the 7.62 NATO round in Garands and M1A's shot better scores; the 30 caliber round was more accurate than the 22 caliber one.
They contacted the NRA and got them to change the rules to allow AR10's in 7.62 NATO to be classified as a "service rifle" and went on to win matches and set a record team score right off the bat in last year's National Matches.
