I have now purchased a 6.8spc conversion kit for my OD green XCR-L in 223 have it loaded with 110gr Sierra Prohunters @ 2650fps and 95gr Barnes TTSX @ 2825fps.
I have been taking in out with me bear hunting wasn't successful on getting a bear but had some fun shooting at longer 331 - 350 - 400 yards with the 95gr TTSX loads.
Here is a pic of one area I was shooting you can see a light coloured log on the bank just up from the road appr 20' to the left of the log was my target the range was 347 yards.
I only fired 3 shots and I was shooting off the front of my quad, I was not holding for windage wanting to see how much the little bullets would drift for me there was low cloud just above me that I was able to watch blow by and figured there was an appr 5 - 7 mph right to left cross wind.
First shot hit low left just missing the rock next 2 shots did a bit better if I was actually shooting at a coyote/deer/bear I would have also held for windage I have a Leupold VX111 4.5-14X40mm Varmint reticle 30mm tube side focus scope set up on the rifle.
Here is a closer pic of the rock the first shot hit between the little rock beside my thumb and the larger rock.
I have to say that for this style of rifle I am starting to like it more and more and I am getting to be very happy with the accuracy I am getting from it.
Here is how I carry it on the quad.
