[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 3038135, member: 125161"] Bolt 223 rifles really shine with fast twist barrels - 1 in 7 - plus a reamer that allows seating the heavy projectiles like 75 ELDM, 80 ELDM, 80SMK, 85.5 Bergers "long" - way past the AR mag length standard. I built a Savage based 223 trainer then a Tikka based 223 trainer. No issues getting impacts past 800 yards on steel - issue for PRS becomes "seeing" the impacts at extended ranges (impact indicators help). I have seen some Tactical class competitors do well with 223 and 75ELDMs in PRS. [/QUOTE]
