[QUOTE="budlight, post: 3093760, member: 2939"] To shoot small patterns you need good optics and something really steady shooting. Go to the range and figure out if you can shoot small groups at say 200 yards. The M855 are AP rounds. not hunting or paper rounds. If you get into reloading RMR makes great 69 hpbt that I have bought for like 14 cents each. Or even 62 hpbt or fmj for less. To all the people that tell you they are shooting 400 -600 yards with a .223 AR I asked for a paper target proof. I probably don't even have a 50% hit rate on Prarie Dogs at 400 yards. It a small target You have to be able to shoot one inch or even sub one inch groups at 200 yards to reliably shoot small targets at 400 yards and 600 yards continues to widen that one inch at 200 [/QUOTE]
