Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Large Volume, Fast Twist 22s --- Where's the Proof?

Here a couple 800 yard groups from a 223 I screwed together a couple weeks ago. I did no load work just picked a top end load from quickload and started loading them on a dillon progressive. If I had a mind to I suspect i could cut those groups in half if I did some load work and loaded them like I do my long range rounds. Last week I punched it to 223AI and it shots about the same, coming real close to 1/2 MOA. I cannot consistently hold better than those groups with a 9x max power scope with no parallax adjustment.

I have killed several PDs past 1K with a fast twist 22x47 I cannot remember if the furthest was 1200 or 1400 yards and yes it took several shots because wind is a beast. All you can do is get the vertical out of the load and hope the wind reacts the same on your second round. Try that with a 55gr bullet and you will go insane.
