3,4,5,600 yards. I know 223 can make it out that far, under ideal conditions, as it is easily affected by wind or elevation more than a .308. It also has relatively poor penetration through cover, LEOs have had windshields stop their .223 ammunition. I wish back in the thirties we'd gone with .276 petersen, as we would probably be using an intermediate round today.
