[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1860133, member: 30671"] We take a variety of rifles. Kids so the ammo is on me. Our last 2 day trip, the one .223 we got home with 18 pounds of .223 brass. Unknown how many 17 HMR. I love the .223 it definitely adds some yardage-especially with a good optic. Cost wise, when I did the math, I good buy another 17HMR for the difference in ammo. A good .22LR doesn't compete well in terms of percent hits, distance, or splat factor with the 17HMR. Plus more of a tendency to skip. Could be factors making the .223 a better choice, but the pivots of eastern Oregon the 17HMR will keep you entertained all day. [/QUOTE]
