Same, same.

The reality is they all do the same job, sooo, don't understand why people bother.
But, if that's what turns u on, great, go for it.

I'll stick with my 223, no hassles getting cheap components. I guess I'm pragmatic.

Oldbloke, it depends if you are buying the gun or buying the cartridge. I happen to have got a bit hooked in Savage 99s, and now have about 11 of them.

22 Highpower
250-3000
300 Savage
303 Savage
243
308

No such thing as too many guns (or too many cartridges!)

I think I load for about 21 or 22 different cartridges and it's all fun!

Greetings,
I had an old Brno .223 at one stage with a long throat. I also had a box of the Speer 70 grain projectiles. I should have loaded some and tried them on goats at least once but never did. My current T3 .223 has a short throat and mag so the projectiles need to be loaded extra deep so an opportunity lost.
Regarding mature rifle nuts (I qualify) having too many often odd ball rifles the reason is that they interest us and just enjoy having them. May this always be so.
GPM.

Some .22 Highpower projectiles, all 71 or 72gr

unknown soft point

RWS copper tipped hollow point used for Roe deer in Europe

Pulled S&B soft point

Interesting bit of trivia: the actual name of the calibre is .22 Savage Hi-Power..

It always was. Very famously.
