Define "long range". I shoot a 55gr bullet from a 16" AR purty decent out to 500yds.
For an AR with a 16" barrel, 500 yds IS long range. My AR with a 20" barrel delivers 5" groups at 500 yds.
I can consitently ring 8" steel with it though.
Anywhere local to get higher grain .223 (69gr and up)? Yes I know I can get it online, just curious if there was a local shop that carried it.
ProFire had some Hornady Match 68 gr BTHP a while back. My 1:9 Savage LRPV loves 'em.
