What I am trying to state is that if you take a lightweight bullet, 45 grains just for discussion purposes, and put enough powder behind it to make it move 1K more fps than the average military 556 round, your going to have a round that is either nearing, or exceeds what is considered a proof round. You are going to have a horrendous wound, one that is very impressive to the eye. Especially if the shooter has not ever seen the effect of non milspec bullets on living tissue.
Also your going to significantly shorten the life of certain parts of the weapon. Air Force CATAM's using DoD approved Frangible ammo have reported throat errosion gauge failures at as early as 1500-2000rounds on M4's. I am not trying to say your ammo is frangible, just that it shares having a light weight bullet and high velocitys, and that is very hard on M4 barrels.
