    My selection; 177, 22LR, 223, 6x45, 6.5 Grendel, 260Imp & 12g. The 6x45 is my go to for meat collecting and gets the most use, so that would be my cartridge of choice atm. The Grendel is new to the stable, so the status could change if it performs.

    What kind of speeds do you get out of the 223AI? What weight projectiles?

    Always thought the 22 PPC would be perfect for me.

    I have 22lr 1 for me and a youth 22 for my boys. 308,223 & my favorite 300wsm.
    223 is suppressed and great for having my two boys come along. Starting to see more use. Still have my first centerfire which is my 308 was given to me by my parents 18yrs ago and has sentimental value. Doesn't get much use any more.

    .22 x 2, .222, .223, .22-250, 7mm 08, 12ga, i think a .30-06 would round things out nicely

    I just have a 22 and a 308. Don't really need anything else apart from a 12 gauge shotgun.

    I have 22LR, 223, 7mm08, 308.

    Having both the 7mm08 and 308 is a bit redundant so one of them will go at some stage, or maybe both will go for something else.

    Had 22mag and 204 previously but neither were versatile enough for my taste so made way for the 223.

    Currently have a .22lr, .270 win, 9.3x57, 12GA.

    I also use my fathers .17HMR a lot so you could just about count that. I really, really need to add a light centre fire, a suppressed .223 makes the most sense. The .270 may be retired in favour of a .308 (my all time fav cal) in the next few years. Plus I've always wanted a 25/06....

    That is defeatist talk. There is no such thing as complete with the subject matter at hand.

    Now take yourself out the back somewhere quiet and give yourself a good talking to.
