I had the opportunity to shoot steel at 600 with some other hide members today, and was extremely impressed with the performance of my 223ai. I've never shot that distance before, and took a guess at the MOA adjustments. Ended up holding 1/2 mil for wind, dialing 14.0 (approximate) MOA from a 100 yard zero. Was on target for approximately 75% of the shots fired. As I recall, the steel plate was about 10"x10".
Shooting a Remington 700, Rock 8 twist, and Nikon Tac scope (old style). 75 amaxes behind 26.3 grains of Ramshot TAC in winchester cases with cci 400's, 2.480 COAL. I'm a big recoil wimp, and this ackley is the cat's ass. I'm looking forward to getting it out further...
