Like Pappabear said, dont discount a precision 223. I have a 16 inch BCM build that Ive taken out to almost 1100 yards now with 77 grain ammo. Is it as good as my 6.5 or 308? Hell no, but it gets there.
Truthfully though the majority of the time Im just shooting 55 grain ball ammo out of it. It shoots American Eagle 55 grain to right around or a little under 2 MOA. With the steel target sizes at my range that gets me out past 600 yards without much effort. When I went to shoot with Pappabear and Markm at their range I was hitting a steel IPSC at over 700 yards with the 55 grain fairly regularly. Probably about 50-60 percent hit rate. Good cheap fun.

No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"
