You are exactly right Pistol. The KD range may be the testbed, where a rifle's initial bugs are worked out and its strengths and limitations are first tested, but the real proof is in the pudding, so to speak. If a rifle brings you home, then its mission is accomplished and well worth the it's weight in gold.

I've never tried it myself, but I've been on the firing line next to some who have, and it works. The M16/AR doesn't work well at that range but it will do it. The performance of the 5.56 is also highly underrated, often dismissed as strictly a varmint caliber, but with the right bullet and rifle package, capable of exceptional accuracy and terminal performance.
