A new 350 m range was opened relatively close to my home so I am tempted to use it as much as possible. 350 m is roughly 383 yards.
Its obvious that my favourite 50-150m plinker, and the only "rifle" i own - vz.58, is rather ineffective at such range.
And the question now is - what should i get?
Iam settled at some kind or 20" AR clone either US or local made but iam not sure about whether i want .223 or .308. I can buy surplus ammo for allmost same price but which is better - more consistent and resistant to e.g. gust at this range? Or is it such a short range that 55 grain bullet wont make any difference and its not worth the .308 recoil?
