[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 471539, member: 15748"] Jayhawk, You've got the twist to handle it, so why not take a look at the 80 grain offerings like the Bergers? They'll stay supersonic at 1,000 with the speeds that are realisitcally possible (say, 2,800- 2,850 fps) with a 223 AI. I have some doubts about the 75, since it's considerably less streamlined than the VLDs. Remember, as German Salazaar always says, velocity's temporary, but BC lasts forever. A barrel life of 5,000 rounds is possible, but probably a bit optimistic. Hard to say here, since it means different things to different people. For a hunting gun, I'd say it'll likely make it, especially if the heavy weight bullets aren't the only thing that goes downrange. For a competitive shooter, not so likely. really depends on what [U]you[/U] consider to be "shot out". [/QUOTE]
