[QUOTE="doctorjj, post: 1411287, member: 7292"] There are guys keeping the 223 supersonic out to 1000 yards with 70 and 80 grain bullets. These are handloads, usually in 26" barrels with 1:7 twist. You need your starting velocity to be over 3000 fps to keep it supersonic the whole way. The drop is in the same ballpark as a 308. So it can be done. [/QUOTE]
