Yes it is but do you plan on shooting F-Open or F/TR? It does make a difference. Also if you plan on shooting on someone else's range? You need to know if there are any range restrictions that would prevent let's just say using a 338 Lapua. Some ranges have a safety fan that restrict the speed of bullets so they can not leave the range. Note that the speed of a 55gr 223 bullet can be faster than a 300gr 338 bullet because the 338 will carry better. Now maybe you understand why i asked the question. For open class the 6's and 6.5's rule the roost for now. For F/TR you have to choose between the 308win/7.62x51 and the 223rem/5.56x45. Both will go to 600 yards with ease but the latter is harder to shoot at 1000 but it can be done.
