If you want to shoot a .223 rem out to 1000 yds how much scope adjustment is needed, in mils?
Just shooting at steel.

Would an 18 MRAD elevation and 14 MRAD windage work?

That will get you close depending on your barrel/load. If you need more you can always get a mount/base with built in elevation adjustment 20 or 30 MOA.
 
with a 75bthp .375bc g1 @ 2750fps you'll need 12.5-13mils


I've ran mine on steel out to 800 and JCalder's out to 800.

There is a guy around here with a 26" 7 twist slinging 88's and it's very impressive out to 1350yds


You'll definitely want a 20moa base
 
You need a muzzle velocity and a ballistic solver to get a real number on this. Otherwise you are just guessing.

There are many good ballistics apps out there that are very affordable. Your box of ammo will give you a rough muzzle velocity.

1000 w 223 is doable but not super consistent to say the least. If just trying to whack steel for fun, carry on.

I have not got that far into this yet, just trying to take advantage of the sales on scops.

For sure. ;) As you well know you could probably hit a target at 1000 yards with a .223. But you normal humans couldn't do it constantly.

What would the bullet drop be? 35-45 feet.

I was just trying to formulate a guess as to the drop of a 55 gr fmj at that distance, total guess bc I've never tried it or tried to calculate it even, but figured with my WinMag and Creedmoor having to dial 30+ MOA, that the .223 would likely be quite a bit more, maybe 50-60 MOA, which would be around the 15-20 mil mark I think?
