Thanks I realise its a bit vague, its why I said "in a well set up match rifle". The problem is I havn't built the rifle I'm considering using, so can't try it! I was hoping that some one who perhaps shot bench with a match set up, and not a hunting set up may have tried it and got good results.

The full story!

I shoot, along with my wife 300 metre, we both use Keppeler's in 6 mmBR, the most recent with a Bartlein barrel, they are the tool for the job and with our hand loads I doubt could be bettered, I'm not interested in using any other calibre seriously in 300 mt.

I also shoot TR with a 7.62, BUT, I have an idea to try shooting .223 rem. which is legal in TR, lower recoil, and cheap factory ammo (the GGG referred) and, it could also double as a cheaper 300 mt calibre, some do use it but with hand loads using SMK's in 90 gn, those shoot superbly well, not what I want to do.

My plan would be to build a full match .223 rem. Barnard action, with a Bartlein barrel, with a twist (1-8) and chambered to suit the GGG ammo. The rifle will be built and chambered to suit the GGG, not to suit hand loads with longer bullets such as the 90 and the 80 gn, where it would have to be chambered differently, and for 90 grain in 1 - 7 or 1 - 6 ish twist.

I do 2000+ match hand loads a year now, I'm not interest in hand loading for .223, the attraction for me is its legal for TR, could be competitive with GGG (so no reloading) and could (possibly if its accurate enough) serve as a spare 300 mt rifle.

The idea is based around "IF" the GGG is good enough, I suspect it is, but don't know any one with a good .223 match rifle who has used it, hoped some on one here may have. If I get a view that the GGG is not good enough, or no view at all, I won't bother.

I just want to know if any one has shot well with the GGG .223 rem Match ammo, not bothered out of what, (as long as its tight! and tight is subjective, I mean at least 0.5 MOA), and ideally at least out to 300.

Have Fun
