2 MOA or less to 600 Yds ?

[Baddog 0302]

Is a quality 223 AR capable of 2 MOA or less out to 600 yds ? either loaded to mag. length or loaded for single shot ?
Or should I wait for a 24 / 26 in. 6 ARC upper offering ? RA limits my building abilities.

Yes.

2 moa at 600; 'bout the size of a pie plate or a touch larger? Many 223 AR rifles are certainly capable of that.

2 MOA is 2 MOA at any range.

True, but even my percision one starts shitting the bed @600, and mag length bullets are not so good in the wind. I’m really only confident of hits out to 500.
You’ll get a lot more impacts @600 with the 6. IMHO.

YUCK, YUCK YUCK, TFF, a slight difference in hitting a coke can in it's end laying on it's side at 100 yds. and a 12" plate at 600 yds.

if you want to get better and you are willing to put in the effort to do better than you can do it .

That question also depends on what you’re shooting. 55g will struggle at that range to keep it tight, but 77g types will be able to keep it together longer out at distance. With my handload 77g and my WOA 18” spr barrel I am confident at 600, but a little less confident out at 700-800 yards. But I can still hit steel at that distance repeatedly.

Exactly, 2 MOA rifle at 100yds should print 2 MOA as far out as the bullet will remain supersonic. Whether you and the projectile’s bc can figure out the wind or your glass can see the target at xyz distance doesn’t change the rifle’s capability.

Many ARs are 2 MOA
