I haven't shot for score since I was in the service. I do have to qualify with all my weapons at the dept. but that's different.

I'd like to get out there and shoot iron sights all the way back to 1000. That would be great.

I have a Remington 700 in .223 with a Leopold 20X. I thought that it wouldn't work for 1000 yards but yesterday I received a call from a friend that said that the new "Precision Shooting" magazine for this month has an article on shooting a thousand with .223's.

I can pick up the magazine at the next gunshow and see what they're talking about. There is a tactical[?] shooting range about 3 hours away that teaches a day class on 1000 yards. I wasn't all that interested because they won't allow .223's.

I would like to find a really good range and wind chart for my .223 loads. It's very easy to find charts for the .308. I put WeatherBug on my computer so I can learn to read the wind. I think anyone can learn to shoot and to write down elevation clicks. It's that wind that is so difficult. www.shooterready.com helps.
