308 v 223 in a Limited distance ERL shoot

[@sjohnson1776]

You guys make that look a heck of a lot easier than it really is. Well done!!! Thanks!!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks man, glad you liked, Cheers

[@craigmandall9420]

Now that I've finally pushed out to 1000 yards i am even more impressed with your skills. I shoot at a target roughly 6 feet by 3 feet and here you guys are shooting at that tiny target. Very impressive effort

[@markandsamafterwork]

Well done, and glad you liked, Cheers

[@dexadrinepancake]

The plate is about the size of the V bull so it's like my thinking that if it isn't a V it's a miss. I'm more impressed that the 223 was not only reaching the target but actually hitting it.

[@martiusgrobler1258]

Awesome video guys, you have really motivated me into the ELR arena. When those 223 hits were achieved I was elated at the possibilities. WOW, Well done!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers Man, thanks

[@ProbablyTooLoud]

The trend has been toward shorter barrels and lighter chassis, stocks, etc. You demonstrate how to maximize a particular cartridge at distance. Very well done !

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers

[@cayminlast]

Excellent shooting. I shot a lot of 308 (7.62 x 51) with an FN-FAL during my military service, i got myself a Savage chambered in .223 a good few years ago which exceeded my expectations and is so much more enjoyable to shoot and very accurate.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers man

[@stevejoubs]

Good on you Sam, it's nice to see you shooting. Judging by your skill you do a lot more shooting than what we see. The teamwork between you both is heart warming.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Steve, yes lots of 22lr plinking together, Cheers

[@waterishdrake8693]

For two people to be confident enough at that range to keep a camera that close in cold bore! Is simply awesome

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers

[@rationalmind6362]

Great shooting guys. I hope the long range hunters watch this and understand how hard it is to hit a 6"×6" area even with some of the best equipment, handloads, and I would say two of the most competent shooters out there today. I love the 308. The stock, fluted barrel, brake, bipod, scope. Everything about that rifle just flows together. Great looking rifle. 👍

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yes, would be real easy to miss 5 times, lol, glad you liked, Cheers

[@finaloption...]

I've been wanting to see the .223 reach. Nice!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers Man, thanks

[@TheSaintsAdvantage]

Just this week I had opportunity to shoot my 223 handloads out to 1100 yards. 77gr SMK over Varget 2575fps. ~8mph 270° wind. What I learned (some of which I knew but hadn't experienced).. 1. At these longer distances WIND reading is a must 2. At these longer distances velocity helps big time 3. 223 at distance drops BIGTIME 200,300,400,500 VERY easy... 1100 VERY hard. 20 shots at 1100 with 4 impacts and 7 close (couple feet). 9 shots no visual

[@markandsamafterwork]

Awesome, Cheers

[@EverydayPeople744]

The both of you are so much fun to watch. Tell my friends to watch all the time. Keep it going.

Cheers Doug, thanks man

Loved this one! My wife and I used to shoot a 22 or at pennies and she would beat me every time. That was in 1970.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers Man, thanks

[@jasonbarnes6717]

Wow, Nice shooting. Great to see those two calibers in action. Very impressive set ups and skills 💯

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Jason

[@SGTvolcan]

I like how the .223 just shakes the target upon impact. Where as the .308 causes the target to walk back. That really shows the effectiveness of the heavier bullets once they slow down to subsonic speed compared to the lighter ones.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, Cheers

[@farmerbrown84]

Yeah, spotting bullet strike is a BIG problem, especially as you get to longer range. That’s what really makes it hard with the lighter calibres.

[@sorshiaemms5959]

ill take the 308 any day

[@ccaire]

Really enjoying this video format of seeing both Mark and Sam shooting and spotting! Wishing you guys all the best in 2022!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks man, all the best for 2022

[@lancer2204]

"Yeah, I can do that! Too easy!" Damn, nice shooting! I wish I was that good. Best I ever did was a 94, small bore (.22LR) target 20m prone.

[@richardoliver1468]

Great video comparison of the 223 vs. 308. Sam did a great job with getting a hit on her first shot. She seems like she would be a challenger in a long range competition. The entire target and stand moving from the impact of the 308 was pure awesomeness. Job well done.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers Rich

[@jaycee30865]

Bless Sam’s heart. She is up there with you through and through pal. Don’t ever let her down.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, set up like these they have almost identical scope settings, Cheers

[@Fudmottin]

I did not know the 223 carried enough energy at over 1000 yards to flip a plate like that! Fantastic shooting on both counts!

[@ImNoBSING]

Guessing 1/4" / 6mm plate since it is so far away, the projectiles are less powerful than handgun ammo. At 770yds 77smk hardly does any trick to my 1/2" / 12mm plate. Smart move to ease spotting the impacts with the 223.

[@markandsamafterwork]

Cheers Man, Thanks

[@mattrychlik2152]

Awesome shooting Sam ! 👍🏼. Its always great to see you on the rifle sending some rounds down range.

[@markandsamafterwork]

[@TheSaintsAdvantage]

As a new shooter all I heard was .223 was only good out to 500 (ish) yards. I agree with you...800 yards is doable for sure...maybe not ideal..but certainly doable

Amazed that you could push a .223 /5.56 round, that far ! Ok The Sako Varminter is an awesome rifle, irrespective of caliber, most people will be using the m 16 types, and then the accuracy drops, in the average shooter to 400 - 500 yards ! Well Done, especially on such a blustery day !

Six by Six at nearly 1100 yards with two underrated cartridges (for this range)... Great shooting by the best team out there, thanks for this! Just out of curiosity (I haven't read through the comments yet to see if it's answered already), do you think the 175gr .308 would do better out of a faster twist barrel? It's so much fun watching you two work together, thank you for putting the extra effort into sharing all of this with us!

[@markandsamafterwork]

Thanks Brett, and better, no, but can run in faster for sure, Cheers

[@wm.traynor1143]

By shooting from the top of that hill, the wind deflection would be at its greatest. Was that deliberate?😊 Surprised to see the very good MV of the 223 with that barrel length.👍

I wonder if a 1:9.5 or 1:10 twist would work better for the 175’s Mine uses a 1:10 twist and I got good results .42 groups at 100 with the 176 A-Tips / 175’s The 1:9.5 works even better though for stabilization in my custom bolt gun

[@markandsamafterwork]
