[QUOTE="rost495, post: 8211, member: 1768"] I don't feel that I'm intrepid, BUT I do use my AR service rifle in 223 out to 1000 yards. I shoot 90 jlks from 600 to 1000. The ballistics for the wind drift are identical to 308 Win and 190 Sierras from a 26 inch tube. My ammo is hot but not HOT. IE the pressure has been measured at about 55Kpsi. As to killing-- the longest kills I can manage with my open sights are on deer around 550 to 600 yards and the 75 amax works well with signs of decent expansion. Personally I'd doubt that further out or with the MK type bullets in this cartridge thought. I've seen many of the 80 smk, 80 JLK, 80 Berger, and 90 jlks laying in the impacts at 600 that look good enough to shoot again. And though a 223 pencil hole will kill, I doubt it would be impressive at all. Jeff [/QUOTE]
