[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 115491, member: 1133"] [b]Re: 223 Ground Hog \" How Far \"[/b] [ QUOTE ] I shot 10-15 ground hogs last year out to 700 yards with my .223 savage heavy barrel 75 a-max at 2750 FPS.

A handgun shooting partner of mine came down last wk. for pr. dog shooting and took 3@ 550, 3@ 650, and 4 shots later killed 1 @ 775 yds. The 550's were from a custom Contender .223 AI/75 A-Max @ 2770 mv. The 650's and 775 were from another custom Contender 22-204 AI (similar mv as the .223AI)/8-32X Burris Black Diamond/75 A-Max. I'm sure had conditions been better he could have gone to at least 900, maybe further. [/QUOTE]
