.17 Remington? That's the only one smaller, and it's a necked down version of the same cartridge.Better look again
Even the .22" Magnum is rimfire, not centerfire.
I've heard that communist-infiltrated socialist small arms NATO sales pitch before.Correctly loaded and with the right rifle, it is accurate out to 1000yds or more.
You need a bigger caliber for 1000 yards. Come on, that's over half a mile. There's too much drag and drop and windage. You aren't going to hit your target out there when it counts.
The typical AR-15 or standard issue M-16 rifle barrel has an extremely tight twist, one turn in 8 or 9 inches, which is only good to 150 to 300 yards absolute max. The bullet spins too fast out of the barrel and becomes unstable in flight after that, an unpredictable piece of shrapnel.
