[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1175196, member: 6845"] I was very easily able to hit a MGM steel popper at 300m with Privi 55gr FMJ ammo. However, I was using a 3.5-15x50 scope to do so. Did I miss sometimes when the wind kicked up? Sure but it was not that hard to compensate for it the next shot. The longer the range the more the shooter's skills come into play. I don't think that is just limited to .223/5.56 either. With the bigger calibers, you can usually extend the range more before your skills have to be improved to make hits. I agree with this. I have a 308 and reload with 155gr Scenars and have great success with accuracy. It makes shooting steel a lot easier at longer ranges on the silhouette range. However not everyone can afford the higher caliber cartridges and still shoot enough to improve their skills. Cost is a factor in the overall equation. A lot easier and cheaper to practice with .223/5.56 then move to a higher caliber when your skills improve. [/QUOTE]
