I think the case is well proven but some people will never accept it.

Of course I see if differently. What ive seen from the thread is that most of us do recognise the 223 as legitimate, and If I havnt made that clear enough before, I do now.

But its not for me! and regardless of it being capable of doing the job. I want something more and feel comfortable with my choice of more energy and momentum at the ranges I, and most people, I think, shoot at.

I sense more frustration from the small cal users, at us stating we wouldn't use a 223 in some circumstances, than I do from those of us with similar opinions of those using small cals.
