Instead of starting a new thread I figured Id just update this one. As stated earlier, my factory savage 223 barrel was sub moa accurate all day long. However after 300 it could only be used for plinking.

I bought a 24" stainless super match from pac nor with 3 grooves and a 7 twist. My I had my smith chamber it for ackley improved and Im easily launching 80 grain bullets to 2960 fps. Of course, it is shooting sub moa.

I selected AI as my "1000 yard cartridge" for two reasons
1. Not interested in the recoil of 30 caliber cartridges
2. Not rich enough to replace 6mm or 6.5mm barrels every 3K rounds.

This wildcat is a really fantastic cartridge. Easy to convert and easy to reload for
