Hi lads, just joined site its nice to see shooters trying to see how far they can push .223 calibre, I shoot a .223 savage 26 inch barrel with a 7 twist, 77grn TMK with RS40 powder, 1,000 yrds is no problem to it, been out to 1400 yrds with it but you need a good calm day for to do it. Will be mounting a new 30 inch barrel on it for next year with a heavier bullet and i will be attempting a mile shot with it
