Is the .223 effective in shorter courses. Say 300 yards or less.

thanks

The rules prohibit .223 and the high velocity causes target damage.

Most folk around here that shoot high power like the 7mm-08, which as you  know is a cut down .308. I like the 308 because I  can do anything with it and have military surplus ammo to practice with.

thanks
