223 or

Reading comprehension is obviously not your strong point. States “ a dozen or more”. He actually knows what he’s talking about concerning the reloading of the hornet. The hornet is a fun round but I can safely say a PITA to reload !! Maybe stay off the booze when posting. It has really helped me. Haha

Don’t know if it’s the booze or not but he can be counted on regular bizarre posts. It was 1:25am so maybe he was just tired.:rolleyes:

Don’t worry about it, this guy is almost always trying to pick an argument on every thread lol. He started one in my thread about reloading 9.3x57 lol

I have that tool on ignore, so I can't see his drivel posts unless quoted as you did. He is always shooting his face off, usually nothing productive... the ignore list can be your best friend... plus, once again, that post is barely coherent.

Well I tend not to try and be biased but there are people on here that know what thevre talking about. You can tell in the details and depth of what they speak. Also have a kindred spirit with Hoyt as a guide for 15 plus years and a reloader for more than 45 years. So when I see someone post something,That basically calls him a liar, well to put it in guide terms, my feathers were more than ruffled. Then add insult, implies he posts to sell junk! Well Id love to meet this clown or better yet be there to see him say what hes said in Hoyts face. But I already know Hoyts too much a man and a gentleman to lower himself to this morons standards. Oh well, just another idiot to the IGNORE LIST.

Very nice. A classy Bub.
 
.223 all the way, I only use it for varmints and playing with steels at 500m. For gophers I use .223 and .17 HMR.

I have a 1 in 9 twist my rifle likes 75 and 77 grain at longer distances.

Tool, you say? You come over as a name caller once again. Btw. the "engraving" job on the 7.62x57 was next to none ever seen in being ####ty ! "Bub" as you say, you did well, :))

You did well too, Bub. Remember the saying " The longer they are, the "the smarter they are"?

And once again, your midnight ramblings show your true colours. You must be fun at parties. !!!
 
Ok that is what I thought, 223 is the most sensible choice! 222 is a good choice but a bit harder to find brass or even rifles I guess!

223 Rem is one of the shooting industries most versatile chambering.... I loved my 222's of which I had a few but the 223 will do everything the 222 will do and then some.

Now if you really want a 222, prefit match barrels are possible so it is an easy thing to create but you aren't likely to find any factory rifles currently produced in this chambering.

One of the nicest rifles I have owned was a Rem 700 classic in a 222Rem... if you can find one in good/like new condition, they can be a fantastic rifle. Same goes for the Brno Fox.. mine had a double set trigger too. A couple of golden oldies. The Savage 340 is a clunky beast but the few I had actually shot much better then I would have expected from such a humble rifle.

Today, I am only into the 223 Rem.. it is just so much easier and I do enjoy shooting LR with it.

Just remember that you can make 222 Rem brass from 223 Rem brass so brass supply can be plentiful and cheap if you decide you want to wildcat yourself some brass.

As was mentioned, you can easily download a 223 Rem to match a 222 Rem or anything smaller... brass then lasts as long as you are willing to anneal.

Enjoy either choice.

I have all 3 of these, albeit the 700 is an ADL.
