I'm with you Maca. I'm very economical with my shots because of my Scottish ancestry, kilts don't have pockets.

I was making the same decision a couple of years ago, then went completely left field and bought a 223. The cost of reloading for the 223 was about the same as the 17HMR and the 22WMR ammo locally and it gave a bit more versatility. Glad I did.
