My 223 is a Ruger Hawkeye with a 9 twist- I am sitting here contemplating taking the damn thing someplace and trading it.- I bought it wanting a gun that would shoot into 1 inch or less with standard bullets. The purpose was to use it for a LOT of practice from field positions on both varmints and plinking.
I foolishly sold my Tikka 223 last year because I thought my 204 was going to replace it, but have since decided I want both.
I bought a box of Hornady 68 BTHP, but not sure if it makes sense to shoot those out of a 223 when I have a 243 that will shoot cheaper bullets at a flatter trajectory.
