Depends what you are shooting Umm not sure if I would shoot at starlings and myna birds nesting in my sheds with a 223 22 won't do the distance no way and 17 is the perfect round for it Hollow points humane kill don't come out the other side or cause problems . I have two 22s and two 223 s 1 .17 all different tools .17 three times the use of the others effortlessly Day you can't afford ammo can't be fun tho.
