85gr 0.224 Caliber Nosler RDF Projectiles for F Standard

Post by pgcpty »

Having caught up with the approval of 224 Cal projectile weight limit increase to 91 grains, I'm interested in the experience of others regarding improved performance at 800 meters and beyond.

Having shot the 223 Rem in F standard to good effect up to 700 meters for a good number of years I'd never been able to match the performance of my 308 at 800 meters and am curious if others have been able to match 308 performance in moderate wind conditions using 85-90gr projectiles?

Any projectile for the 5.56 to 91 gns has been approved for some time.
