    Steve, one of the Trentham (ex UH) guys has a 223 and uses 90gr moly coated, goes well up to about 600yds, but gets blown out when the wind is pumping. KW also has a 223 that gets used for juniors at LTTS sessions.

    This weekend we did not have high winds, most I ever used was 4.5 or 5 minutes at 1000, it was all fishtailing downrange.

    The margin of error with a 308, even using 155gr projectiles is just a lot less, so it will be interesting to see how cyclops jnr's 223 does when we hit 10+ minutes of wind at some stage during nationals. Personally, I think that between a decent buttpad (Limbsaver) and a suppressor, you can kill just about all the recoil in a 308, and it is still legal for FTR. The can might give you some carbon fouling issues, but there are enough anal folks in NRA style that clean between ranges, so nothing new
