[QUOTE="jakesparents, post: 396526, member: 24884"] I will be curious how that shilen barrel does. I am hoping for at least .5 consistently out of this one. A little less would be wonderful. I have a .223 that handles anything inside 400 yards very easily and out 500 generally with no problem, but it's running low on engery at that point and the wind drift is pretty tricky. So my goal for the 300 is 400 yards and beyond, or windy days. We don't have prarie dogs here unfortunatley (ohio), but we do have groundhogs. They tend to be a bit larger target. I also seem to shoot plenty of coons, which are a good size target as well. They come out and forage in the evenings. Without good fur prices they are out of control and into everything. So, my goal is at least .5 on paper, and to be able to take it out in varying conditions and consistently be dead on zero. I just want to get it to where I can pull it out of the case and vaporize a rodent and not have to spend lots of time punching paper in the future. That .223 has been very much that way since I found a good load for it. Andy [/QUOTE]
