[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 936311, member: 50419"] Yeh I happened to be somewhere that I could check out ammo stuff this morning and man there are about a million cheap 223 ammo options out there that I think could easily offer food enough accuracy to 3 - 400 yds for the purposes I need. Might have to do a little more thinking about it but as much as the extra fps of the 250 would be nice, the 223 just seems almost too practical. There is something oddly intriguing an out a 204 also but I don't know. One other thing I was looking at was the Remington 5r withb24" barrel and 9 twist. Then I could shoot 70 gr at 2900 according to Hodgdon and the wind drift would be way less. Anybody have any thoughts/experience with this rifle specifically? [/QUOTE]
