In my personal experience, with an M-16, I was able to put 10 rounds in the chest of a man size target at 500yds. Not sure exactly what my group was, just that I hit the black. But then again, that was a 5.56 (which I've read is dimensionally identical to a .223, but loaded for higher pressure), and I was having a good day.
