Who is running a 223 well beyond its effective range. I just finished a new setup last week w a custom er shaw 1:8twist 24in and its shooting unbelievably well. better than 1/4moa at 200 w smk 77gr hpbt, tho I know this wont translate beyond 4-500m. Im going to set up some 3x3ft plywood or maby even 5x5ft if required to get it to print at 1000yrds. I know people have done it in optimal conditions and since I have a range on my property I can wait for some dead air to connect it.
I like trying to push things past their "limits" and a 223 is cheap and fun to do that where a 338 or something equivalent I dont have the range/optics/ability to do that. Its like shooting my kimbers at 200yards, ton of fun even if your honly hitting 1/4th of your mag.
Im going to hve to get a chronograph so I can start making a long range drop chart a be able to verify it any rec's on good cheap chronos? Any bullets with a better BC than the 77gr SMK
