I haven't tried to drive a car to the moon, but I've driven a car enough to know it can't get me there, even if I fill the tank with rocket fuel. As much as that is a smart-@ssed remark, it's the truth of what we're talking about here.
You're FAR from the first guy that has sought out high ballistic coefficient bullets, running really fast, even in the .223rem. That's why you see new bullets like the VLD's with improved BC's and why you see guys blowing out the shoulders on 223rems to create 223AI's. ONLY SO MUCH POWDER FITS IN THE CASE, THE BULLET IS ONLY SO BIG, AND THE CASES/RIFLES CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH PRESSURE.
You can never drive a car to the moon.
