[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 358238, member: 13978"] I mus beg to differ. My 50 grain vmax load can can put a magazine of ammo into a 4 inch circle from 600 yards. The 50 grain bullet will make you become an expert at wind reading but it can be done. You can kill clean with a .223 at extended ranges. At 450 yards my load is still pushing the 50 grain vmax at over 1800 fps. Thats fast enough to kill anything coyote and smaller. At 600 it still supersonic( 1400 fps) so a well place round can get it done. As I stated before YOU HAD BETTER BE AN EXPERT WIND READER because you are going to get pushed around. Now if you cut the range back to 300 yards. that 50 grain vmax bullet isn't going to be in the air long enough to get pushed that much by the wind. SPEED KILLS. 26 grains of VV N150 Wolf .223 primers Hornaday 50 vmax bullets COAL 2.234 [/QUOTE]
