Dave,Sorry your thread has been hijacked /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You can tell that you have chosen a topic of some interest which brings out some varying opinions. But back to your original question. I shoot a 223 in an AR platform with 60 grain vmax handloads. These loads have chronagraphed at 2935 fps. I have had very good luck to 300 yds on coyotes and consider 350 my personal limit on expecting a better than 8-10 chance of connecting /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif. I also use BDC reticles in my scopes and feel they are useful to me as long as you spend some range time getting used to them. I would also say that I would not hesitate trying really long shots if the opportunity presents itself and they could be attempted safely.Good Luck and Good Hunting
