[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 2914718, member: 4676"] Ummm, not really. You could have a suppressed 18" barrel .308 bolt action, and it would outperform a .223 in every one of those shots. And there are a slew of rounds in between the two that might be better than the .308, too, depending on application. I shoot .223 avidly, and at 750yds it's lost enough energy that it is difficult to even seen the plate move without a good spotter. There's a reason it isn't used for extreme long range shooting, and the reason isn't because someone hasn't come out with [I]another[/I] AR platform claiming to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's physics. [/QUOTE]
