So you have the decoder manual as well!! Haha. I just did what I normally do and added another to the list. I wish that Nutz would just not show anything from those on the list even when reply with quote is used. If you were in south eastern ontario Id buy you a drink so we could laugh at this clown. Cheers bush1

Ya, thankfully there’s only a few around but they certainly are annoying…
Back to 223… I’ve been on the 17HMR kick for the smaller varmints around the property and just picked a 223 a few weeks ago and looking forward to using it around here. A more versatile firearm for my uses as it’ll be good for my smaller stuff and coyotes too as I’ve been using my deer rifles for the larger game.
I picked up a Burris 2.5-10x42 with an illuminated crosshair reticle last fall and it’s fantastic for quickly getting the crosshairs on target. Just have to remember to turn it off when finished.
The illuminated reticle is great in heavy cover/timber or in low light. Gives a great focus point. The 223 is such a versatile round, with fast twist barrels theyre acapable of long range/accurate shooting. Cheap components with SRP and easily obtainable powders. So many powders perform so great which attests to the efficiency of the round. Its here to stay for many moons. Light recoil and fairly mild report with huge component and bullet choices, whats not too like?
You can still pick up cases of .223 so if you don't reload or want to save your bench time for the precision stuff then it's the ideal plinking round.
There can be an argument for having your precision rifle and handloads in one of the alternative calibers, be it .222 or .22-250 or such, to make it easier to keep that ammo separate from the plinking stuff. Otherwise you have to pay a lot of attention to which set of .223 a round came from.

A 223 is easiest especially if you want to shoot a factory gun and factory ammo. If you plan on building a gun, are a hand loader, want to shoot 40/50gr bullets and plan on buying brass anyways, the 222 is worth considering.
Interestingly I stumbled across a NIB Sako 85 Bavarian iron sights in 222 Rem the other day. It was quite something. It had another guys name on it already. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a new 222 Rem for sale.
