[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 472943, member: 17593"] Hehehe, and then the talk went to ARs. I totally agree; ARs positively RULE in a PD town! Accurate ones that it. Don't forget the brass catchers! I have three uppers built for me by ISSI, Insight Shooting Systems of Colo. All will shoot bug holes all day long. Two are in 20 TAC (driver) and a 223 A.I. What is so great about them; besides their super accuracy, is the lack of recoil and I can see impacts. The 20 TAC (driver) is first cousin to the 204 Ruger and the 20 Practical. It's the smaller of the three and I believe the most efficient; but it's a small point. My 20s love the 39 gr. Sierra Blitz Kings and the 223 A.I. loves the same brand at 55 grains. So as to your quest for the best PD round. I'm doing mental back flips over my choices. I can whack em with the 20 out to 475 (did it last year); but there ain't much energy left for PDs.
