rcw280- Thats just what I heard from mybuddy that is ranked in the top ten in the USA for high power competition and it sponsored by Hornady. But what does he know?? As far as taking a yote at 300 yards with it, yes, it is possible but I wouldn't try it with such a small bullet. I would want at least a 50gr. But as others said if someone has a .223 rem or Swift or something it is kinda pointless. Half the powder?? As what?? It has the same case capacity as the .223 rem, just a little faster. I'm not against the caliber, I like it, just kinda pointless.
