How fugking horrendous would a shooter's form have to be to pull him off target with a .223?
It's an uncanny level of fugking stupid.

I personally hate the recoil of a .223 as well.... Muzzle flip is an issue if trying to see through the scope, though on long shots you might be down enough by impact time, but you want ot see trace too, either adding weight or a brake is the way to go. I would not have done a light 223 personally, but tahts me.

Now that I think about it a 338 edge and a 223AI does have a lot in common. Haven't run the numbers but many folks tend to be somewhat surprised what you can duplicate with a smaller round, drop/drift related, and since drop really isn't an issue these days. Who can argue that more practice is better than less, and certainly an edge burns money and barrels fast...

Just thought you boys would want to know, since this post Jeff has had emergency shoulder surgery. He WAY overshot his AI and blew out his rotator. Dr. said he had never seen a worse recoil injury. (The same Dr. did get lost on the way to ER as poor Jeff lay there in pain, but luckily poor Jeff had a blunt in his pocket and was able to self medicate his way to nirvana.) 6-8 weeks, minimum, out for our hero....... Thank God for Obamacare..... and Jeff's new Gofundmyfùckingass site.
P.S. The Dr. stole the roach, on how way out.......

Jeff_O: Some time back I had a custom Rifle built on a blueprinted Remington 700 action. It has a heavy 25" Shilen stainless steel barrel on it. It has a Jewell trigger and was put in to a Remington 700 PSS stock - it weighs 13 pounds 15 ounces with Leupold 6.5x20 scope. It shoots EXTREMELY well. Foolish me though - in brainstorming the Rifle I thought I would eliminate ALL recoil by making it so heavy and by adding a muzzle brake! In fact it does not recoil much at all but the muzzle brake sucks up so much dust, dirt and debris that while shooting it prone I can not see where my bullets hit! Defeating the purpose of it being so heavy and the cost of the muzzle brake (Holland)! So I am limited to shooting it from sitting position with bi-pod or off of one of my Varminting benches. If I were to do it again I would NOT install the muzzle brake. Best of luck to you with the muzzle jump situation. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Damn Varmintguy, it's really too bad you couldn't take it off.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Put 90 rounds through it today (75 Amax/335) while shooting a couple other rifles at my 900-yard spot. 900 is pushing it in terms of seeing my shots impact on say a cutbank, but I was catching about half of them.... The little bullet just doesn't move much dirt, and then there's just a lot of duff on the ground here too. 8x isn't a help there either. But screw that anyway, the real fun was on my 500 and 600-yard plates. This is a pic of the rifle from last week. I haven't bead blasted the barrel yet... heck I haven't even stamped 223AI on it. Very much enjoying the little sucker now! I had a M700P in .223, one of those big Sendero-sized jobbies with the 1:9 twist. I could see my hits with that one, but it wouldn't run the 75..... put a bunch of 69 SMK's through it but it's just not the same. Cracks me up that my first braked rifle is a 223AI and I hope it cracked others up as well! But damn man.... I'm digging this thing now. That silly little Leup tracked like a champ today but then it always has. Ran into a possum hiking back down but was carrying too much crap to bother with whacking him. I bet it would've done fine, though admittedly 223AI is a little light for the larger rodents like that.
The CENTER will hold.

top one here in my .223AI pile might top that, but my scale only goes up to 10#...
