[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2085118, member: 59036"] I've got to chime in again. I bought a box of fifty Black Hills reloaded Lake City brass .223 ammo in the early 80's. I was shooting it in a M700 VS topped with a 10 power Weaver target scope. That combination was deadly accurate! With a dead solid rest, I was consistently making one shot hits on prairie dogs on a ditch bank over 400 yards away. That was with a dead solid rest. I can't remember how many MOA I had to adjust the scope, but it was substantial and I was constantly having to make adjustments for winds. I didn't and couldn't attempt further shots, but I think that I had reached the limit of my eguipment. I have used that rifle in Bangalore matches. I was never able to make constant hits past 400 yards. I never tried to shoot at 800 yards because past about 600 yards, bullet impacts were hard to see. Irregardless, I could never make consistent hits much past 400 yards in a controlled situation using a solid Caldwell rest on a concrete bench. I'm running up the B.S. flag. [/QUOTE]
