bit of a ramble here . . . awhile back a mate and i got into a bit of a competition with LR .22 sub shooting, started with targets and later moved to Rabbits/Hares. i thought i had him beat for awhile with 340yrds but he's catching up again. i usually use a Sako Quad Range with 20X Mk4 scope on top but to keep a level playing field i have downsized to a 10X Leupold to match his 10X Bushnell, positive side is its much easier now to shoot the close in animals. in theory he has a slight advantage using a CZ Varmint but this particular sporter .22lr barrel on my Sako Quad in a Boyds stock gives nothing away to a heavier setup.
longest shot this evening 256yrds

Rem700 / MDT LSS Chassis / 16 inch barrel .223AI, 5 round AI magazine, Gunworks suppressor
originaly i ran it with a ACE folding stock, 6X Leupold, 10 round MDT mags when i was doing a lot of Goat shooting . . . future plans are a heavy fast twist barrel in AI

probably not going to be much help to you @Feather or Shoot . . . i dont run full throttle loads, at 3100fps the 55grn SP Hornady bulk bullets i use in this rifle shoot really well so ended up there.
agree with this guy . . . There's this misconception a 223ai shoots 150-200 fps faster than a standard 223, but again, pressure being equal, it's just not there.
If someone wants to build a 223ai, by all means do it, I have one and it shoots some of the smallest groups of any rifle I own and I hardly ever have to trim the brass so there are definite gains to be had by going 223ai, unfortunately, big increases in velocity just isn't one of them.
Big days walk on the hill today, one of those days where my wind calls weren't good enough to get any hits with Subs past 155yds . . came close but half an inch off is still a miss

Hey @rossi.45. Is that a Boyds stock?
