[QUOTE="detrio, post: 150849, member: 8213"] I recenly went ground squirrel hunting and the squirrels were out in the 350-500 yard range. I had tough time hitting squirrels out in the 400+ range with my Rem 700 LTR, 1-9 twist 223 using 55 grain Vmax bullets. My buddy who had a 223 Ackley Improve rifle with a 24" barrel and shooting 50 grain Vmax's was making a lot of hits in the 400 yard range. I wished I would have taken my Remy 22-250 or my 243 to make hits in those ranges. The 223 is excellent caliber when shots are under 300 yards especially for small critters. Next year I will take rifles for all ranges. [/QUOTE]
