Mule Deer, Please let me explain myself, I know very little about shooting long range, but I have a great time trying, and I have fired about 2000 rnds of 308 175 gr. . at 1000 yrds under all kinds of conditions, and about twice as much 6mm 107 smk at the same distance for me the 6mm 107 gr will run away and hide from a 308 175 gr. in every way I can think of.

I never have tried to shoot over 500 yards with a .223, and I don't know what a 224 looks like, please remember I'm doing this for the fun and to learn something, it's not life or death to me. Rio7
