It is long enough, but it is HEAVY. It won't swing over from a gun shot.

You might be surprised. I bought the same plates from the guy on the hide and at 500 yards my .308 would flip em right over. I had it mounted to a metal real estate sign and my chains were more vertical than yours.

The .223 will be fine but I bet that .338 flips it right over. I was shocked the first time I shot it.

Haha, in all seriousness, I never planned on that rifle going past about 300-400 yards. Not necessarily because it can't get there, but at that range, the little 'ole .223 starts to turn to grain of sand in the wind. I bet we can get it out there though. I'll try some of Dustin's 75gr Privi along with the 69gr stuff I have.
Awwww come on, it'll be fun!! ;)

I bet with the wind cooperating, you will not have too many problems hitting it. Just get the right amount of elevation dialed in. However previous dis-cuss-ions have shown, the 223 is dead after 600yds. See the picture below for why I say we might be able to land some bullets on the frame and that hopefully we won't dent the frame.

I accept your subjective and completely un-factually based evaluation of the .223 round and concede that it will not go past 600yds.

Amidoinitrite? :wink2:

Isn't that how most people try to argue on TEH INTRANETZ. Hehe. :teach:


Back to seriousness again, that graph is fantastic. I shall save it.
