____________________ Thanks for the expedient reply. Guess I got one more rifle to git! Anyway; next up is to find and Mulie, an Elk or more Hoggs to hunt as we have none in KS where we are. Have a great day there.

___________________________ The 223 is not overall better, it's costlier and a lot noisier with more recoil. No trade off at all IMO.

--------------- Thanks Doug; yea to add to the apologies, I should not have included anything but rim fire in my post. ---------- Since I have all three; I prefer the 17 HMR. YMMV

_______________________ OK Strike the 22 WRM. I'll shoot the seventeen, yall do as ya like. Tired of arguing and convincing. Have a good day.

----------------------------------------------- OK despite my age I guess I'm lacking in education what is ".2S"? And are you will ling to tell me your AR will shoot a tighter group at 100 yds. than my .17 HMR? :) -------------------------------- Footnote: went out today with the Windham...

----------------------- Perhaps you are right, let's strike center-fire from the discussion. That said I shot at a stray last night with one of my .223's and missed (again) at 69 yards. I certainly don't have much praise for the 1-9 barrels I have. I can't hit a beer can at 100yds to save...

------------------------------- +1 and 10-4

---------------------------- You would have to show me on paper that any .22 mag or .223 will shoot a tighter group at 100 yds than the worst .17 HMR. I won't argue at longer ranges those bullets don't have higher BC but it they can't be put in the ear, still useless. At 300 yds I don't think...

Why/How so? IMHO, the .17 HMR is more accurate at any range than the .22 WHR. I own both. So show me? I've taken a fair amount of game far in excess of 200 yds. Tell me I can do the same with any 22, including .223. I don't believe it, yes we shoot the .223 also, it does NOT group as...

I like the positive remarks I read here. That said, has anybody else but myself noticed the other remarks always tend to be so contrary? If you want to score with a .17 HMR, the posts suggest a no win must have a .22 WRM. If you have a .243 you must have a 30.06. If you have a 300 Win...

Ok you technicians; I have a grouping question. Considering the Browning A Bolt BOSS system is the correct theory; would there not be an optimum grain load for all known calibers and barrel length. I.E. Sample; is a Howa .243 with a 95 grain pill and/or a Howa 30.06 with a 150 grain pill...
