[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2268656, member: 93138"] Not sure how to place a vote. Never been a fan of hugely over-bore chambers or of bores smaller than .224 Just too much of a PITB to clean for my interest. Also tend to shy away from overly light for caliber bullets. I *might* shoot 45 gr's out of a Hornet, but I'd never shoot them out of a .223 Rem. or any larger powder capacity chamber. If you set aside the oddball brass (no parent cartridge + who needs a belt on something like this?) I've long thought that the .224 WBY would make a fine varmint shooter. Pair it with faster twist barrel and I suspect that it could work very well. Then there is the .224 Valkyrie. I've not done a precise comparison, but intuition says that it should be in the same range as the .224 WBY with easier to get brass. Fast, but not ridiculously over-bore. [/QUOTE]
