[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1174893, member: 7123"] You could say the same about the .22 long rifle (which can go a mile). Hey with enough skill you can cope with a transsonic event and decameters of drift and drop, right? I'm squarely in the ".223 is a poor choice for anything past 300 yards, unless your *primary goal* is to make things hard/challenging on yourself, at the expense of good groups" camp. My theory is, why not make it easier on yourself, instead of harder, by choosing a cartridge/bullet combo that gets there quickly with a good BC? .308 is a relatively poor long range cartridge too (you heard that right), relative to the .260 and such, but with something like a 155 scenar, it's still 2-3 times better than a .223, even one with a 7 or 6.5 twist and a 80-100 high-BC bullet. But, vdub and DU are certainly exactly (technically) correct when they say: [/QUOTE]
