Thread: .223 Rem vs. .308 Win

Alright, one for the target guys (warning, the following videos may cause an emotional response among former AR owners ).

MK12 Mod 0



M110



Both rifles running good quality factory ammo, and the rifles themselves are very good replicas/clones of the original service rifles (the M110 might be original).

Quite amazing to see how the 223 more than holds it's own with the 308 all the way out to 500 in terms of fast follow up shots, accuracy and first round hits, after that you can't really hear or spot hits on steel for the 223.

Ryan Cleckner (former US Army Ranger) wrote that during his time in (from 2000-2002 I think), the MK12 Mod 0 was considered to be the most accurate issued rifle, even next to the M24 (bolt action .308).

Amazing performance from the 77 grain pill, will be interesting to see what happens when these guys get their hands on a 6 ARC, suspect it will be better as it is flatter on paper.
