What is the maximum effective range for the 5.56mm cartridge?

The 5.56mm cartridge, often used in AR-15 platforms, has a maximum effective range of approximately 600 meters, provided the rifle and ammunition achieve sufficient initial accuracy.

Is the 5.45x39mm cartridge capable of reaching 600 meters?

No, the 5.45x39mm cartridge is generally considered to have a maximum effective range of around 500 meters. The 5.56mm cartridge offers a longer reach.
