If I wanted to push .223 bullets at long range, I'd go .223AI if I wanted easy case availability (instead of going to 22-250). The 204 Ruger is good for flat trajectory shooting varmints. Personally I went 20 Practical for free cases. I shoot 20 Practical, 223, and 6X45 as I have easy availability to 223 cases from other shooters.

Blue Dot in a 243? That is one I have not heard before.

I used to live in that area...Ann Arbor, Belleville, Royal Oak. Shot at the DNR range off 59 east of Brighton, can't remember the name.
