Good one JGR! grin

I wouldn't show up with a .222

But ( no sarcasm or contentious emoticon needed...) I wouldn't think twice about taking the .223AI.
I feel it gives me 100 yd comfort edge over the deuce and it is such a sure killer with the 55 TTSX that I wouldn't hesitate.

Everybodys mileage varies, but I personally feel comfortable with 200 yd shots out of the deuce or the .223 and 300 yd. shots out of the 223AI or the .22-250..
For me, that has covered 99.9% of the deer shooting Ive done....and like the cartridge/bullet choice, it all boils down to your personal comfort level. It seems comfort and confidence walk hand in hand.
