Craigster Campfire Tracker C Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,774 humboldt	Originally Posted by MadDog4298 Started out with a 222 but the cheap ammunition of the 223 made me switch. Back in the olden days you could buy 223 ammunition cheaper than it was worth to reload them, imagine that!!!! Looking forward to them days again. Don't hold your breath. As far as the cartridges go, it's boils down to six of one and a half dozen of the other. I have both. Old Corps Semper Fi FJB
