[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1912041, member: 112192"] The verdict seems pretty clear, a .223 trainer is definitely worth the investment. And then I went and did a thing completely against everything in this thread! lol Last night I scored a great deal on brand new .7mm SST dies with 150 new ADG cases. Then found a .284 Proof CF barrel for a steal and bought it. Then called Straight Jacket and ordered the chamber work for a 7mm SST! WOW that all happened so fast but between the barrel, brass, and dies I saved about $400 over retail costs so I'm pretty happy about that ... just need to track down components now and I'm ready to shoot!! I don't want to discount all the great feedback and advice in this thread however, I greatly appreciate all the responses as you all confirmed for me that a .223 trainer is a solid investment. I do have an AR setup as an SPR that I can continue to shoot for cheap .223 practice, but it's important to me to practice on the same platform as my hunting rifle so I will certainly add a .223 barrel for it next.
