Can a Tikka .223 Remington hit an animal-shaped steel target at one mile?
We start with a left-handed Tikka Varmint and upgrade it with an MDT carbon-fiber chassis, 40 MOA scope base, Vortex Razor Gen III, MDT Ckye-Pod, SEND iT electronic level, rear bag and AICS-pattern .223 magazine. Then we load it with Federal Gold Medal Match 73-grain Berger ammunition and begin pushing the rifle far beyond the cartridge’s practical limits.
At 750 yards, the rifle is comfortable. At 978 yards, the bullets are approaching the transonic zone. At 1,790 yards, they are deeply subsonic, carrying roughly 100 foot-pounds of energy and taking more than four seconds to reach the target.
With unpredictable wind, limited scope adjustment, a large velocity spread and almost no visible bullet splash, can we make the hit before running out of ammunition?
