Bigngreen,
I shoot this rifle all the time but 1000 yards is quite a ways for a 223 AR15! On a side note, it is a Les Baer super varmint and it is amazingly accurate! I will shoot it in the 600-700 yard range quite a bit. As I said before, the 1000 yard drop number was more for comparison. The actual range isn't overly important from a comparison point of view. Or said another way, there were significant errors at shorter distances as well.
Bryan,
I have to laugh at the comment your collegue made. Just the other day while troubleshooting a difficult problem at work, a very experienced senior engineering collegue of mine made the same comment---"It's either that....or something else"--good stuff! Engineers are all very similar creatures!
