[QUOTE="dug, post: 3060428, member: 9523"] If your staying at 600 yrds any bullet will work . If your going passed, i have had the best luck with 70 gr berger and 73 gr eld’s Both offer top bc in class and the best medium for fps vs bc gain . I shoot them to 1000 out of a long barrel gas gun , so 80 gr bullets to long to fit in mag. It was alot of work narrowing down a powder with a sm SD and high enough velocity to get there super sonic. The spead in velocity realy shows up passed 700 when the bc is half what the bigger dia bullets offer Vertical stringing is the problem to overcome . Im fairly happy with what i have set up now. But id never do it again . Id stay at 700 with 223 and buy a 6mm or 6.5 mm catridge to enjoy farther down range. Low recoil to see hits ,less money on components vs 7mm and larger cartridges..
