Black Hills Mk262 is match grade ammunition designed for use by precision marksmen at long range. You can put the most precisely engineered firearm into the hands of the coolest, most highly skilled sharpshooter and unless he has the best possible ammunition, he is not going to be effective. Black Hills make match grade ammunition and specialize in . 223 caliber and 5.56x45mm NATO rounds. The Mk262 Mod 1 uses 77 grain (5 g) bullets with cannelure.
The first Mk262, Mod 0, did were not cannelured. A cannelure, meaning fluting or a groove around the cylinder of a bullet, improves crimping. This was therefore added to the Mk262 in mod 1.
The designation, 'match grade', refers to the fact that the ammunition is good enough to be used in competitive sharpshooting contests. Match grade ammunition is highly accurate and low in tolerance. For these reasons, precision long-range shooters in both the military and in law enforcement insist on it. Originally, Black Hills Mk262 was intended for use in the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR).
The rotating bold, gas-operated, semi-automatic SPR was designed for use by snipers and designated marksmen in the Special Operations Forces in the US armed forces, specifically, the Navy and the Army. It was employed recently in Operation Iraqi Freedom and in Operation Enduring Freedom in the earliest battles of the 21st century. The term, 'sniper', was first applied to Soviet soldiers using the Dragunov SVD. In the Israeli army, precision, long range gunmen are known as 'sharpshooters'.
The job of a sniper in law enforcement and in the military is to deliver precision, long-range fire to selected targets. In combat, the intention is to scare the opposition, lower enemy troop morale, confuse them and inflict casualties. A sniper is trained in a broad range of subjects to help him perform and keep him alive under battlefield conditions.
The wounding characteristics of ammunition for use in a precision, long-range rifle are different from those used in a handgun such as a revolver or a pistol. Situations in which a handgun may be used tend to be at close range and life threatening, either to the shooter or to persons under his protection. The most effective way to incapacitate a target is with a head shot.
In a close combat situation, there is no time to take precise aim. Here, all the shooter can hope for is to penetrate the target's body deeply to damage an internal organ and promote heavy bleeding. Meticulously designed tests conducted by the FBI have determined that the best handgun ammo for achieving this objective is to use 10mm (. 40 caliber) ammo.
The Black Hills Mk262 fires at speeds of up to 2,700 feet per second (fps) when it exits the barrel of a rifle. The Mod 1 can kill a target when fired as far away as 700 meters. Special ops shooters consider it to be superior to Belgian-made 5.56x45mm M855 NATO rounds. For these reasons, this is often the ammo of choice for law enforcement and armed forces snipers.
