[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 299372, member: 1403"] 700 yards on a buck with a 223 and 55g HP is LUCK, not skill. I dont care who you are. Do that shot 100 times and see how many deer you end up losing and never recovering, I bet it'd be close to about 90%. I'm not one to rain on someones parade, but you must think a little bit about these things before you decide to post. In most states its not even legal to use .224's on deer, let alone at 700 yards. I'm not saying it CANT be done, obviously your the exception, but its not a high percentage shot/kill with that system. You do know that 700 yards with a 55g bullet at that speed is pretty much flat out of gas at 700 yards right? Do you know the drop, drift, remaining velocity, energy left at 700 yards?? My guess is you probly dont, but according to you, all you gotta do is range it and click your scope to the yardage and wah lah, your killing deer at 700 yards with a 55g hp from a AR .223. There is a ton of stuff that goes into making shots past 600 yards and I think you have a bit of reading to go to fully understand why some of us are questioning you. Dont take my post to offense, just look at the ballistics of your 700 yard deer load and you'll see why some of us have a hard time being open minded. [/QUOTE]
