I've made my longest kill shot at about 400 yards with a 40 grain Nosler ballistic tipped .223, so am sticking to what works for me!

Most my kills with light-weight bullets are inside 300 yds, beyond 300 yds they seem to lose their WOW factor on Pdog kills , not to mention if there is any wind present it's tough to get on target. I've shoot 36gr Barnes VG with excellent red-mist-factor out to 300, my rifle really likes 40gr NOS & Vmax out to 400; beyond that it's 69gr SMK to 600+ .
I can't run the 75amax in an ar, so i run em out of my savage model 12 bvss. They work good, but they just don't do the mist work that I like. The devastation on the 223 (under 3k fps) pales in comparison to a 22 caliber gun running tips above 3700fps at the muzzle. Same thing can be said about a 17cal,20cal,6mm, 7mm or 308caliber tips at high speed (greater than 3k fps). The faster the tip, the bigger the splat or flip. I love it when I hit one with my 243 or 308 at 400+ and they still do a 1 1/2 flip, 720degree twist at 3feet in the air. Accuracy numbers in my opinion only really come into play past 400yds. That's when i switch out the 22's and go to the bigger stuff to get serious.
Yup, I figured it was related to terminal performance. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
Heck, why stop at 7.62 might as well go with a .375 H&H Magnum. [Coffee]

This is what you need to scope vermin out. Down side is the 15min fly time.
