I just don't understand why so many people are fascinated with the .223 Rem.
Now don't get me wrong it's a great little cartage. But everything you read and hear you would think that it will do anything you will ever want to do with a rifle.
I understand why every new rifle that comes out is chambers in it, because people keep buying them.
well u complain because folks talking about the ar's,you do realize one can shoot all day for lil or nothing,for about 15 cents a round, the 308's cost 1.65 cents a round,the 243 cost 1.78 cents a round,and the 45/70 cost 2.50 cents a round the last time I looked,so I don't think anyone will be playing with the big calibers,now if you wanted to play, what would choose to play with,see the point,as far as killing critters the big calibers they are only good for 150 yards maybe,except the 308 and the .223,which will reach out 500 plus, if you have the scope that will let you see that far,the big guns you have to make sure you hit your target because its costly,the .223 if you miss so what, I believe that's why folks are on to the ar's an the .223
I have a custom built ar colt 30 inch barrel fluted with a custom crown to setup the harmonics with a 1an 9 twist, I reload my own bullets that way my shots are consistent,62 grain bthp and 70grain ballistic tip, average cost 20 cents my rifle is a one minute rifle,for those that don't know what that is it means that at 100 yards I can put 3 shots in a one inch circle,not to brag but I can do it at 200 yards,this is my favorite rifle,if I needed to make a shot this is the rifle I would I grab

However Centerfires smaller than .22 are permitted, which there now is an abundant of choices that are still ballisticly superior to the .17WSM.

HKFan9 said:As for the .22-250 yes it's a great round, just costs more to get the same thing done. With my job I even get discounts on ammo and components but it still costs me more to reload the .22-250 than it does 5.56, given were loading both for varmints.
I understand you'd like a .17wsm AR, just the same way I'd love a 5.7x28 full sized 1911, how ever neither negates the fact the .223 just plain works very well for what it is intended for when putting personal feelings aside. Yes niche cartridges can be amazing, until you forgot to hand load enough rounds for it and can't find the rounds or components locally. Availability is nice for sure.
