Best Answer

The term Maximum Effective Range is used to distinguish between Maximum Range (how far a bullet will travel) and the greatest usable range. Maximum Effective range is defined as the greatest distance at which a weapon may be expected to fire accurately to inflict casualties or damage. While cartridges have an approximate range, the true effective range is determined by both the cartridge, and the weapon that fires it.
