while the 223 is more available in factory ammo, i just can't let the triple deuce die! to me, it is one of the very best varmint calibers out there. look back at former benchrest records and the 222 reigned king. mike walker had a winner then and now! that being said, most people are going to go the 223 route. i like the other posters idea about the 222 mag. it is what the army should have gone with imho. just my .02 but there will always be a place in the world of accuracy for a caliber that has three 2's in it.
