    Sorry but I don't see any reason to want one of these over a .223? Ammo cost? Maybe a very slight saving, every other area the .223 is better?

    You could say that about a lot of calibers

    The main thing is it'll be far quieter (especially when suppressed).

    Less meat damage is also a positive. You ever hit a bunny with a 223? there's not much left.
