So..... you are shooting at possums in a tree a hundred yards away and figure 223 would be good for that?, my .17HMR kills them dead as fuck at that range, you could always try 7mm Mag, then you could shoot them out of tree 400 yds away, just let me know what bit of country you are in though, so I can stay the fuck out of the area.
