[QUOTE="dakor, post: 70457, member: 2204"] Kirby to be honest with you that is the most I have shot my 223 in the last 6 months. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I mostly use my 220 Swift or 7mm STW or 300 Win and most of the time I pack to rifles one for short stuff and one for long. But after changing scopes and running out of powder that was the only rifle in the closet ready to go last night. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know its just a little 223 but I would have thought the closer shots would have been a little better but oh well. I could crank the FPS and see what happends but at 100 yards those Rem HP's shoot 3 shots in the .1's and that is out of a stock Rem 700 BDL non Heavy barrel no less. I will say it is fun shooting those little cals and watching the bullet hit the target. I do plan I trying to take rabbits, gophers and crows out to 500 yards once I find a good expanding bullet. Does anyone think that is to far for a 223? [/QUOTE]
