Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Weatherby Vanguard II in 223 Rem, 1:9 twist

You should be able to get the 69 grain bullet moving faster than 2600 fps, in fact you can get the 75 grain Hornady BTHP running that fast in your 20 inch barrel. How do you figure you would be limiting effective range? The 223 is a pretty small round and it has limitations that can't be overcome.
