The only .223 I've ever bought came in a 1000 round box, with 50 round sub-boxes (Fiocchi). But I was referring to the price per round, either way. My brother bought a .17 HMR and was talking it up to me, but I figured if a .22lr wouldn't kill it, my SKS or Mosin -Nagant would kill it just as dead with cheaper ammo.You get fifty shells in a box of .17hmr and only 20 in a box of 223.
If you're using it for hunting and not shooting off a hundred at tin cans, the 17hmr is a much better choice.
And right in the OP, he said:
So yeah, .17 isn't the best choice here. Either way, I do like to shoot my hunting guns as much as possible. Keep in practice, and all that.I likely won't be hunting with it, it's more for target use.
