After taking the class with a borrowed 223 , I bought one and have since retired my 300 win mag and 7 wby mag and made the 223 my go-to hunting rifle. I'm not a long range killer (yet2. I see most people are bringing 223 for the class, or people hunting with that also or swapping to something like a 6.5prc/magnum?
Like I said, I'm not into long range yet, but I don't know why the 223 wouldn't do everything needed to
transfer to a LR capable outfit after taking the class.
My son picked up a 223 also and here's the results of this year's efforts.
The elk were shot at ( if I remember correctly) 180 and 320 yards.
4 bullets. 4 dead animals. No wounding. No trailing. No ruined meat.
It's safe to say this outcome would never have happened for me without the class.
