Can't shoot a .223 past 600. Under 600 yards is medium range not long range.
you can also shot a .22lr at 250 yds, that doesnt mean it will kill anything...
Who said anything about killing anything past 600 yards? He just said that a .223 wont shoot past 600 yards and I showed him that you can. If it kills anything or not, I don't know, different discussion.
I have 2 ar15's one in 5.56 and the other in 5.45 russian. Both are 16" barrels the 5.56 is fluted. Most ballistics charts i look at use 24" barrels for testing. Which one if either would you feel would reach the furthest? Im looking for a 500 yard yote killer im trying to decide if i can scope one of these and put my acog on the other for home defense or if i should acog one and sell the other for cash to buy a 24" bull barrel in one of 3 calibers 223, 5.45 or 204 ruger. Just looking for opinions and experience. Thanks yall.
I would say i disagree with "can't shoot a .223 past 600". I know that there are more efficient rounds out there but i enjoy trying to hit a prarie dog at 7-800yards with a 223. It takes alot of dope and often more than one shot but it is more challenging than say a 7 mag with 110 gr. bullets. I have a dpms upper with 24" non-fluted barrel 1 in 8 twist. I don't reload so I generally shoot 55 gr. ballistic tips just because they are cheaper and you can burn alot of ammo shooting prarie dogs. The 75 gr. is definitely better but the 55 gr. are ussually about 50 cents a round compared to 80 or 90 cents.
Dustin where's that great chart vdub posted with the banana like SMK falling out of the sky at 600 yards.
That's more than enough evidence to convince me.
