Nice video guys & its much much better then some of the so called pros.

have that baby ackleyed and get another 150 to 200 fps, plus no bolt thrust or brass stretch. i love mine and kick ass with it at the 500 yd f class matches. 75 a max or 69 gr sierra work great with 1 in 9 twist

[hifly78]

Great video macaddict. I have got to get my target camera up and running.

Cheers

[cd9ers]

should've have dialed about one half moa left and 1 half moa higher, but other than that good shooting!!!!

[aj514]

where are you zeroed @, and what kind of hold/elevation adjustment did you put on the scope?

[macaddict34]

@aj514 I think i dialed in about 45 moa of elevation.

I'm really thinking about getting my hands on a Savage 10 fcp-k in .308. That'd be one badass target gun.

dude macaddict i did this with my new savage edge in .223 with some hand loaded 69 gr sierra matchkings. it took me several shots but i hit a 10 by 10 inch target at 1000 yards. i never thought it possible with the .223 but it is. i wish i could get those 75 grain A maxes to stabilize that would make it eve n easier to do.

[macaddict34]

@223shoota Nice work man. Those edge's look badass. They're such a nice rifle for that price.

[hifly78]

@223shoota I'm shooting the 75 gr a-maxes out of my Savage 12 VLP DBM .223. I think 1:9 twist. They are stable so fat down to about 65 F and just above Sea level. PM me a e-mail and I can send you an excel spreadsheet of stability for temp pressure and different twists for .224 cal bullets.

Check out my Vids, 75gr a-maxes at 535, 822, and 985 yards.

Cheers

I shoot a Savage 12FV in .223 with 75 gr Amax @ 2900 fps. I need to get some videos up, last time I shot was 1,200 yards but it took about 8 shots to get on target.

[hifly78]

@GCMxVeGeTa I have measure my barrel twist, supposed to be a 1 in 9 and its measures 1 in 8.75 (I measured over 2 complete turns. I can now stabilize the 75 gr a maxes down to about 36F on a 28.80 pressure (absolute) Haven't really worked to much on the load for the amaxes. About .8moa right now. Better in the summer at around the .5 moa. I like shooting lots so I got a progressive press so maybe not as accurate as could be.

Love to see some videos of .223 at long range GCMx

Cheers

not bad for the caliber and range, next time try aiming a little higher

[jcm151]

you need a shooting mat bud. I use movers blankets.

[KCDustRemover]

What bullet are you using? 1040 yards is quite a ways past where most consider the max range of the .223. Sounds like the bullet is still supersonic at that range. Good shooting!

[223RedneckSniper223]

Nice shooting, .223 is a great caliber.

[treon123456]

you guys are livin the life...if there vvere jobs out there....i d move today.....peaceout

[stevok49]

good shooting lads what size isthe target.

[macaddict34]

@stevok49 ~1X2 feet

[zander123452]

What kind of scope is that? Nice shooting!!!

[macaddict34]

@zander123452 It's a BSA Platinum series.

[zander123452]

Would you Recamend it for long range shooting at prarie dogs?

[macaddict34]

@zander123452 Yeah, I would. You can pick them up for 120 bucks and it performs great for how cheap it is. I was worried, but it hasn't lost its zero or anything major like that yet.

[zander123452]

Im suprised that , it can pick up a target at that range. What is the modle number and where did u get it. Sorry about all the questions im getting savage just like that one(the 12v). How it the clearity at that range and in general.

[macaddict34]

@zander123452 I got mine at cabela's, but you can pick it up online and save quite a few bucks. I think I got the PT624X44TS model, but the mil-dot model would be nice in a lot of situations. Clarity in general's fine, but if the magnification goes over ~20X things start to get smokey, but It doesn't bother me really. I don't usually use it in that range of magnification anyway. It's certainly clear enough at any magnification to pick out a prairie dog.

[zander123452]

Thanks very much for the information. I really appriechiate it. I'm fairly new at hunting. So lots of research. Thanks!!

[TacTeppo]

GOD! That cannot be comfortable haha. Nice view btw, where you guys shooting?

[macaddict34]

@TacTeppo It's outside of Guernsey, in south-eastern Wyoming.

[wassup287]

Great vid. I had no idea 223 would be that accurate at that range. Just imagine what a 308 would do

[JACK9519]

cool vid, check the vid of me fiing rem700 in .223

[Bly86]

Amazing how much force those little .224 cals still have.

[macaddict34]

It really is. I didn't think it would have enough energy to move the gong at that distance.

[multicam2000]

Great video, love the 2 camera view. What grain were the .223 rounds?

[macaddict34]

They're 69 grain seirra hollow point boat tails.
