Your doomed if there is any wind at all in your 1000 yard shots in the light powered .223 .
That's a little rediculous to be reaching out that far accurately with a .223 ? Maybe 500 yards or so if your lucky .
It aint no .50 BMG round you know ?
You'd be much better off with a .3006 with .223 Excelerator Sabbot Bullets if you actually want to hit anything accurately with a .223 at those ranges . Even with that your asking allot , accurately . I think 1,000 yards is way out of the .223's league . JMHO ..........There is good reason .308 and .3006 or the 7mm's do so well in long range competition .
The .223 , not so much .................
