[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 221221, member: 376"] Jerry, Interesting article! Due to scope issues with the 6 Dasher, my wife ended up shooting a .223 Rem @ Chilliwack for the BCRA match. 80gr Bergers over RE-15, worked just fine out to 600m. She stayed home from Portland, but I tested the gun @ 800, 900, & 1000yds - and exercised a new target puller in the process ;) It held elevation well - surprising, as DR is kind of treacherous in that regard, but it did get punted about in the wind a bit more than we expected (being used to normally running B155 VLDs @ 2960-3080 or so). I think with a 30" tube and maybe running the Berger or JLK 90gr VLDs stateside it could hold some promise for 1k F/TR. As is... after watching some Canadians running .223 Rem these past two years @ BCRA, I sure wouldn't bet against 'em @ 600m and in! [/QUOTE]
