[QUOTE="db-2, post: 387493, member: 4743"] There are all kinds of 223 rifles out there and all kinds of 223 cheap ammo. Join the crowd. Old school: 92 in 25-20 made in 1917 model 65 in 218 bee made in 1938-47 model 70 in 22 hornet-k made in 1939, prewar. No doubt the 223 will outperform all three calipers. Have a 223 in a model 70 and have not even bought a box of bullets for it let alone fire. Have one box of old 25-20 left. Shot enough 223 when i was overseas, junk, IMHO. Lucky to have survive. Have a 222 magnum (mohawk) . Have 80 rounds but that can be a hard bullet to find. Found as a kid the 222 bullets went thru the rabbit and rabbit hop off for 100 yards. 22 hornet the rabbit dies at the spot. But then there are no more rabbits. So, for me there is nothing like taking an old school rifle with old school ammo and walking in trees knowing that i carry a rifle that kill the largest 5 point whitetail on record, maybe the only one doing that and maybe one day for me that 5 point. db [/QUOTE]
