Just managed to get my hands on a box of 70 grn Nosler RDF's . These definately do the business at 100 Yrds sub Moa , was getting around 2850 vel first attempt, . . . think I need a little more!.
Anybody shot these out to 1000 ( sea level ish!)?
Heres the thing , best results I've had was using the Sierra 77 Grn tmk's, recon speed wise they were around 2850 but these things grouped sub MOA at 100 Yards . The A max's were crap at 100, in fact the only time I managed an inch at 100 when I moved back to 200 they spread out to four! ...
Have 700 Remi 26" barrel with can't remember whether its a 9 or 10 twist?, anyway shoots anything from 55's to 77 Grn ( apart for A Max) very well, do love shooting a long way with it think is much to do with lack of recoil , seems more accurate?. Been out to 900m using the Sierra TMK , not too...
No you're right , if it shoots MOA at 100 which it does the same application of concentration ( or in my case lack of ability!) excluduing any weather issues, at distance should produce the same results .
Last attempt at 900m ( just under the 100 Yrds ) I kept most of the rounds within about 25" , that's around 2.5 moa . . . in all honesty did have a few flyers out side that , but that was using Amax 75 Grn & had to down load because of the temperature. Recon velocity wise was only getting 2800...
Ok so we're out to a 1000 ( well 900m) with the .223 all seems to be going reasonably well now, think the best part about this is I'm shooting just as good with this as I ever shot with a .308, and the lack of recoil certainly gives the impression on more accuracy!.
That said I shoot off a...
Ok so recently I shot my Remi .223 out to 1000 Yards. Without going into too much detail ,I used Hornady A Max 77 Grn and I know for a fact they definately were not Supersonic at the distance. I'm no sharp shooter but I can honestly say accuracy wise I was just as good ( if thats the right...
Thanks for that, all helps
Well we're out to 900m today unlike the rest of the week temperatures dropped upbout 10C and the winds got up , looking about 15mph gusts . . . . recon this could be fun . . . . 303's on the bench!
May have had a little success the weekend , the Sierras ( 69 & 77's ) doing their thing, only 100 Yards and it was blowy but them was shooting the usual moa. The 75 Amax's . . the first two right through the same hole , then the next two and inch in either direction!!,. But thats closest...

Well they're cheaper than the 308's which is the original reason for staying 223 . That said if I can get the Hornadys to work I'll save even more . . . . fingers crossed!
