[QUOTE="crittergetter, post: 132358, member: 650"] Timbo, I shoot a Tikka Tactical 223 with 1 in 8 twist and shoot it out to 800 yards. I use a Sierra 80 gr HPBTM and killed a nice Tom at 710 yds last spring. In addition, I have killed several at 500 yds. The 80 gr. seems to expand at very low velocity...I have yet to see it not,but then again I've never shot anything bigger than a Turkey with it (nor plan to).The 223 is just plain fun to shoot and cheap too! New shooters have ample time to see bullet impact with the combination of low recoil,low muzzle blast and hang time. Save the big guns ($750 barrel and chamber job) for big game. The 223 will keep you up to speed in the off season...JMHO [/QUOTE]
