[QUOTE="Simple11, post: 1737155, member: 102975"] I have a Remington 700 223 that’s been trued and a 1/7 muller works barrel installed. Timney trigger. Stockys stock that’s bedded. Nightforce 20 moa base. Mark 4 30mm medium rings. Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14 optics. And I run a SICO omega suppresor on it. I’m shooting 75 gr hornady tap hand loads. I’ve taken several deer, several hogs, and several coyotes with this rifle / bullet combination. My shots have been from 45 yards out to 200 yards. I’m shooting for the ball of nerves that’s above the shoulder just below the spine....if I can’t get that shot I’m looking for a high neck shot. When I do my job and put the bullet in either of those areas the animal drops in their tracks and it’s a clean kill. I’ve pulled my shot a few times or the animal will take a step in either direction and the bullet impacts a little off..... but with the 75gr hornady tap Ammo the furthest I’ve had to track an animal is 45 to 50 yards. I enjoy shooting my 223 while hunting. But my shot placement is key and I understand that my personal preference is to keep my shots inside 250 yards. [/QUOTE]
