TOL, the .223 shoots a very flat trajectory. Sight it in at 100 yards and it will be within an inch of center out to about 150 yards.

I don't know if this is significant, but its been my experience that the .223 actually drops when first exiting the barrell, then rises to begin the normal path shown in the charts. Thats why I switched to 6.5mm for scoped shooting. The charts usually begin at 100 yds and don't tell you whats going on in the first 50. It may have just been the ammo, but it always did this. Weird ballistics.
