Thread: Is the .223 the most versatile cartridge?

I like the medium 6.5s. Not the best warmonger with 95gr being the lightest but does everything else well. I like the 6mm and .25 as well though the heavier pill/longer range 6.5 wins out for me.
I recently bought another Swede over a nice winny in 257 roberts...left to my own devices I would have them both as well as that sweet cdl model 7 260 that mathius recently sold.

I am aware that I have issues

I've been offered a custom 6.55 Swede (Leuopold scope, timney trigger etc) at a helluva good price and I know it shoots into .5MOA at 100yds. I'm sick of my POS Marlin XS7 7mm08. The bloody synthetic stock touches the barrel along the left side and I can't get it to shoot under 4" at 100 yds! My old 303 pisses over it!
