But some idjit Georgia congress woman said there are no sporting purposes for an AR15! She's part of the guv'mint, so she gotta be smart'n me don't she?62chevy wrote:My vote would be the 223/556 because you can find brass every where for free. Then add it's not that much bigger than the 22 Hornet and can shoot 40 to 70 grain bullets makes it a great replacement for the 22 LR.
Oh and you can shoot everything from mouse sneeze to full battle loads with the 556.
Here's my conundrum: I have .223/5.56 cases by the 5 gallon bucketful, no doubt. And I know I can download the .223 to the low velocities desireable for squirrels, no problem. But some where in the back of my head this little voice pops up and is letting me know I will be better off with a small case for the really small cat sneeze loads. I just have a sneaking suspicion that I'll find the right combination in a single cartridge. One .22 K hornet downloaded with Lilgun and one 223/5.56 uploaded heavy w/speer or other bad for tumblingl
