[QUOTE="375rifleman, post: 1122973, member: 80454"] I have read and re-read the article by Jerry Teo about shooting a 223 Remington a mile accurately and if the 223 Remington can make it out to a mile accurately than I'm pretty certain that a subsonic 50 cal like the 500 Phantom can make it to a mile or beyond accurately. 750 grain Hornady A-Max has both a better BC and is a lot heavier than a 80 grain Berger VLD with a BC of .445 as well as a 80 grain with a BC of .453 even if the 223 Remington starts out at around 2890 FPS. So 80 grain with 449 BC at 2890 FPS muzzle velocity VS 750 grain with 1.07 BC at around 1075 FPS muzzle velocity. However I have personally not plugged these numbers into JBM Ballistics for comparison. [/QUOTE]
