Is anyone using the heavier .223 bullets?

[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 245520, member: 9964"] Any of the heavy VLD bullets will have to be single shot feed on a AR platform. There is an extended magazine and a modification that can be done to shoot 80 grain SMK. The Bergers VLDs are just too long to be magazine fed. In my personal opinion the .223 should be kept to a 350 yard range and for further shooting the larger capacity 22s and 6mms should be used. For example the 22s and 6mms with 80-105 grainers out to 600 are hard to beat. The higher BCs and velocities make a huge difference in the wind. Yes, the 223s will shoot farther than 350 but you are very much handicaped. The point is to plant a dog and keep the fur you will have much better chances with a larger and heavier bullet than the 223 will push at ranges over 350 yards Rustystud [/QUOTE]
