[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2966817, member: 103303"] .223 Rem can be a lot more versatile than a 55gr FMJ might suggest 😉 1:7 or even 1:8 Twist really opens up the options. I use a few different recipes; 45gr HP's for small stuff in the summer 60gr NBT for fur in the winter This seems to provide a constant supply of 1f brass. I always have a spare mag of 64gr Hammers in case something bigger shows up (cougar/hog/wolf) 75gr Berger's shoot good enough to keep the rust off my wind reading... ...and probably 10x dry fires for every live round Not flashy, but covers a lot more bases than I anticipated. I love that I don't *have* to reload for it - factory ammo is plentiful and relatively affordable. [/QUOTE]
