bet you bought 223 as figgured the cheaper rounds were a great idea???
once its gone,your into more costly rounds fullstop...MAYBE running fast twist .223 to chuck heavier projectiles while still being able to handle cheaper bulk amunition might be a financially more sound option????

Ahh, as a serial reloader there I'm not to worried about ammunition .
More to the point for Me is the old adage of , beware of the man with one rifle.
It sums up what I'm thinking as far as rationalizing weapons systems you understand and know and use well for my target species.
Really the problem is my safe is running out of room!
