I haven't chronographed the 77gr but the 75gr eldm are doing about 2500fps. So pretty slow! I haven't tried any form of load development however. The 75gr has about 650+ f/lbs energy at 300 yards...

Decide on barrel length by what you do, not by what others do. For shots sometimes over 200 yds using heavy bullets 20-22 inches is good for me. If lead in the air with bulk 55 grn shooting...

Just got back from a few days there. Each morning I'd make a cup of coffee and stare outside the window in wonder. My cup is full. The only negative from the trip was tagging with black sharpie...

Yeah still got the big canon and the 308 but the 223 is such a joy to use. And a lot cheaper to run other than flinging brass all over the place on goats. I've still shot more deer with a 223 than...
