[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 913986, member: 22069"] [b]Re: Is a .223 an option inside of 500 yards?[/b] A fast twist .223 will get you out to 600 yards or so. I have shot beside guys using them in F-T/R matches who did very well. IIRC, the F-T/R winner at the last match I was able to shoot was using a .223 shooting 69g SMK's. Like the .308, there is such a large variety of match ammo for the .223 that your odds of finding something that shoots really well in your rifle go up tremendously. 1/2 MOA is doable. You are not going to better that by very much with a factory rifle and factory ammo. [/QUOTE]
