It is cheaper to reload 223 ammo then it is to a buy a box of 22 mags and the 223 is more accurate to boot .

I'll remember that when I get the Long Ranger in .223. I shot about $50 worth of ammo yesterday and will be doing the same on Thursday.

If the target was an 8" steel gong it would still be dead (or a least wounded).

My groups at 100 yards was three to five inches. Not good at all but still good enough to drop a coyote at that distance. I'm heading to the range again within the hour and will be making another range report later today.

Well they look pretty good to me. I'd like to try shooting a 22 sometime. Looks like fun.
