I am running a 223ai, brux 8tw on a 700 with a 4-18 LRHSI. When I switched to the rdf's I started stretching it out a bunch. Last year's best was around 750yds with this rig and I can pound 600 yard dogs with alarming regularity.

I'm not sold on the rdf as the best bullet for spectacular instant kills, but well placed shots kill pretty consistent for me. I'm looking at trying to uniform the meplats to see if it aids bullet upset, getting me exactly what I want....if not, being able to connect on sub 800 yard dogs is good enough.
