I use a SOCOM-16 as a patrol rifle. I don't need MOA accuracy (it would be nice), and I can put rounds on a B27 at 200M that would cause problems for a human. I have the SOCOM in the vehicle rack because the 7.62 turns cover into concealment. I can't do that with most 5.56 rounds, if any. My M1A is stone reliable, and the 7.62 can do things that the 5.56 can't do at any range (at least in my experience). I can deal with the SOCOM's limitations as a match rifle because that is not what I use mine for.
