Re: .223 Performance Questions (55 grain @ 600 yards) So in the end, i didn't do bad with off the shelf ammo.. My goal is not to turn the rifle into a "precision" shooter in the sense of bench rest shooting only, I want it to be a versatile weapon in both CQB and 600 yard engagements. So...

Re: .223 Performance Questions (55 grain @ 600 yards) Well...I understand what you are saying but I said at best, it took a lot to get there and it seemed that I could not consistently get that group even after I felt dialed in. I had a 8x12 steel target setup also and could hit it only...

So I took my Armalite AR15 (16 inch Carbine) to the 600 yard at my club this morning. I was using rem 55gr, 54 degrees, 9mph winds. I was shooting with a Harris Bipod.. My groups at 600 yards were 6-10 inches at best... My question is am I trying to get something with this particular .223...
