A 223 with 80 grain bullets can kill game animals and hit targets 1000 meters away; the standard 55-gr bullets can’t.

I disagree. I've used the 55-gr bullets to hunt game before an killed a rabbit at 100 yards. Of course it took three hits to bring it down ...

I’ve hit P-dogs at 400yrds with 60gr SP’s and there was barely enough left to recognize as an animal. No idea what you guys are doing wrong... :-)
