[QUOTE="Hummer70, post: 2856640, member: 85770"] I am with TheSouthpaw on 223. If you reload get some 80 gr Sierra Matchkings and get a Sierra loading manual and look for the "Accuracy Load" at the bottom of the page. I did it and per page 222 of the 5th edition it calls for 23.5 gr Vihta Vouri and gives around 2500 FPS from a AR15. If you zero for 300 yards you will impact 5.84" low at 100, 6 7/8" low at 200 and 16" low at 400 yards. At 300 yards it delivers 661 ft lbs of energy. My car rifle is a Ruger American Ranch Rifle w/ 10 shot mag and it will also take 20 and 30 round AR Mags. I installed a AR flash suppressor on mine and cut about 3/4" off the butt and now it is 35 5/8" long. At this time I have a red/green dot 3MOA aiming device. [/QUOTE]
