Yes 223 Rem at a mile, and not the weather we hoped for, but after some working it out we got to where Sam gets to test her skills on this one, hope you enjoy.

Considering the caliber, distance & wind, I would say that is some mighty fine shooting Sam. Love the video as always and still really enjoy the 'fly-back' at the end. Thank you again, Mark and Sam for your dedication to producing quality content. 🇨🇦

Congratulations Sam for the great shots at this distance.

Seeing .223 Rem pushed to four times the range that some people say it's good for, is mind-boggling. Love watching you two work together and achieve amazing feats of marksmanship.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Man, glad you liked, cheers

[@Whatevershappeninginmyhead]

I’d jump in with our roo shooter when he brought his fridge truck and a few hundred tags up just with my .223 stainless zikka- some standard rounds from the farm shop and I wasn’t missing many less than him with much heavier gear. Maybe it was the Rifle maybe it was the round but I could hit a dime up to 500 metres in light wind with front windscreen folded down bench resting at night with a spotty. Miss the farm life so much.

[@sjohnson1776]

That is a long poke for a .223 Rem even with 90 grain projectiles. Well done Sam!

You must be packing that powder in Mark, running 2208 lol.
I run 2206H @ 2850 still have a little room, but not much heheh.. I've run mine up as fast as 2950, was seeing pressure signs at those speeds. Found 2800 - 2850 was the sweet spot, much slower/faster and my grps opened right up.

I am thinking of buying a new long range precision rifle for more modest undertakings and wanting to stay with .223 often had my doubts if I should instead go for a more powerful cartridge. Watching what you can do with .223 definitely erased my doubts.

In the Army back in the early 90s I had to memorize a LOT of specs for the M16A2 rifle and the absolute maximum range of the 5.56 projectile was 3,534 meters. At that distance it's like an indirect weapon and there's very little energy left

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers

[@imeprezime1285]

That maximum was just calculated. 5.56x45 , 62 grain military round, having MV~3200 ft/s, never reached 3300 yards + (3 km) at proving grounds

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I believe you. That was the max range as listed in the TM@@imeprezime1285

[@imeprezime1285]

@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 In 1990s progress in development of military Doppler radars was such that even tracking of small .223 bullets became possible up to their extreme range. Green tip M855, 62 grain bullet ( 5.56x45 NATO) has been measured typically aprox 3300 yards during fair weather (close to standard military metro conditions), with bore elevation 25-30°
