300 to 400 yds easily. I spent time each summer, shooting at small ground squirrels out to 200 yds, and like this past summer,
spend time ringing steel at 300 and 400 yds with a bolt action 223....with a powder charge of 10 grains of Unique and 50 and 55 grain bullets.
Guess I went thru around 900 to a 1000 rounds or more between May and September of this year....
out there at 300 yds, with that practice and time shooting ground squirrels, come deer season, a deer seems the size of a dump truck out there.
and a flatter shooting cartridge, that what I practice with all summer, make that a lot easier....
