Don’t need two 223’s.

Well, good luck finding more 65’s. I’m on a waiting list, but who knows when that’ll pay off. Not being able to get them was why I went for the 63’s. I used to use the 63’s in my 220, and I had a good stock of them but let one of the tennis kids talk me out of them. I was able to find some 63’s from Reloadingeverything.com on the West coast. They had a small stock of them, which is now depleted.

For the grandkids, I’m going to have to work up some plinking loads, but there will be no stinking plinking with the 65’s or the 63’s. But, thanks to a nice guy on the forum, I happen to have nearly a bazillion 40 gr Nosler BTs. I hope they’ll shoot in an 8 twist.

You banish that thought instantly, good sir. You offend my good taste with a statement like that. I have 3, if u count 5.56, and need about 3 more. I need at least 16" bolt gun with a threaded barrel, a sbr ar and a good replica of the original issue m16 (fixed stock, 20", pinned fsb, the whole bit in semi auto).

Haha, seriously though I think it is one of THE great calibers on many levels, but especially if you reload. So if the idea is that there is no rifle caliber, let's say centerfire, worth "needing" multiple firearms of, then fine there's no real need. However, if there is only one centerfire cartridge that needs to have multiple rifles, then I submit the 223/556 is an excellent if not the best choice. I'm in the camp that needs more than one rifle for a certain specific calibers. In case u haven't noticed, i can be a huge fanboy of certain things. Because there are so many platform and barrel combinations (twist and length), it makes a single caliber so dang versatile; from target to varmint to light/medium game hunting.

Btw, I'm just following. I have a 65gr gameking load I love and only about 60 bullets left.
