[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 917008, member: 105"] Layne, I was just out on my hunting lease yesterday and found a great straight lane down a 500yd road that I can easily block off on both ends to ensure nobody will wander into my line of fire and was thinking of taking that LTR I have in 223 with 1:9 twist and loading up some 69gr Matchkings and seeing just how accurately that rifle would shoot out to 500yds. I'll be following this thread closely to see how you do and although my barrel is only 20" vs your 26" and I'll have the obvious velocity disadvantage due to resulting lowered velocities, I'll still be doing my very best to turn in some respectable results at 500 down my road and then at 600 over my open and windy clear cuts when i get it dialed in at 500. I doubt I'll be able to stay supersonic at a mile but if my ballistic testing says I can, then I'll give it a shot. (pun intended) Lead on Bwana... LOL $bob$ [/QUOTE]
