The number I've seen for APKWS is 95m. But the Marines have been looking at alternative warheads to reduce danger close distances. With precision weapons, danger close mostly depends on warhead size.   Viper Strike (2.3-lb warhead) is cleared to 50 meters.  No reason an APKWS warhead couldn't get down to about that as well.  A pure kinetic warhead (like the flechette antitank round in the CRV-7PG) might do even better.
