My first impression of it is it looks like a Hornady 6.5 creedmoor 140 grain HPBT.

Game warden came out and thinks it is a 223 cal. The range is members only so they should know who is out there shooting. Hope to get more info soon.

Bullet appears to be over an inch long, are there any 223 bullets that long? I havent played with any of the newer 80 grain plus .224 cal bullets, but it appears to big to be a 223 to me.

I really ain’t seeing that as a 22cal. The member knows what they did. Hopefully they come forward

Came through the living room window and hit the couch where my son was sitting 10 mins earlier. Good thing he's a teenager and always hungry because he had just got up to make something to eat.

So so glad no one was hurt. That's just flat scary.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Unless it hit a wall after the couch, I'm thinking that projectile skipped off a fairly hard surface before finding your house.

I was thinking along the lines of that maybe it didn't come from the range but much closer. Then again, it could have hit some metal in the couch and absolutely ended up looking like that too.

I thought about this earlier. What’s between the OP’s place and this range? What if a Jack azz neighbor did it or someone between the range and his place?
A rifle range a mile away though. What are the chances it didn’t come from there? Very slim. I think someone knows dang good and well what they did and I pray it sits heavy on their hearts to come forward.

It is the time of year when the "expert" deer hunters sight in their rifles on the bag of corn that has the target on the bag.

If it came from the range, they either shot up into the sky or hit something that launched it up into the sky. Shooting from prone or a bench, @ a target 100 yds away, won't get that bullet a mile away. Then add in the fact how high it hit the house.
