I own a Remington 700, 30-06. I guarantee you even at 500 yds a 180 grain round will go through a Law Enforcement vest like butter. I would never want to be hit by a high powered round in combat, there would be extreme tissue damage. Also the 7.62 comes in many varieties of length. The AK round is actually quite short while the 7.62x59 (.308 NATO) is a very nice cartrige for snipers. It is the preferd round for the Marines, though the Army uses the .300 Win mag(

).

I also own a 9mm for self defense though I am currently on the hunt for a .45 USP. I have serious doubts sbout the 9mm's stopping power. not saying it is a deadly round but knock down powere is of upmost importance to me.
