[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1283277, member: 27192"] For comparison sake, factory subsonic 223 ammo would still be very effective for rabbit sized game out to about 100 yards or so. I figure that going slightly above that 1050 fps range, will still allow accurate shooting (and light enough energy to not destroy meat) out to 150 yards. So, my plan would be to either use the mil hashes on my Vortex PST to aim the lighter loads, and with practice I figure I should be able to switch between the two different loads. My other thought would be to have a side mounted red dot style scope that was sighted specifically to the lighter rounds for the closer (25-150 yard) shots. [/QUOTE]
