.223 undoubtedly.If you already have a .17, then get a .223. They are so much fun to shoot, and all day long if you have the ammo. You have many choices for a rifle in .223, too. I bought the Rem ADL scope package last year in .223 (just a tad over 400 bucks), and just love the thing.
As I do reload, I found a good load using a 60 grain bullet, so I can even use it for deer hunting here in Wyoming. The .223 is such a fine, versatile, fun round to shoot, and I don't think you'd go wrong with the Ruger Am. in .223 if that's what your thinking about. I have a Ruger Am. in .22lr that wears a 4x rimfire Nikon scope, and it's a real peach of a rifle. The Ruger American line has earned a very fine reputation thus far; you can certainly buy one with complete confidence (IMO).
I racked up several thousand .223 cases just by picking up brass when we shot in the desert and by letting my AR-wielding friends know that I want their brass cases. Cheap, cheap.
I have a Savage 11 Trophy Predator Hunter and it does nothing but shoot little groups. It's got a 6-24x Viper PST and no milk-jug inside 600 yards is safe!
