    Is .223 a good all rounder?

    I can't get enough of .223

    Come visit hawkes bay and I will take you to some natural ranges and you can laugh and shoot rocks to 900yards with my .223 and have the time of your life.

    I'm working on my first .223 deer but I'll let you know how it goes - seems my sweet spot for goats is 200-250yard shots with a 55gr game king.

    LOVE this calibre and every day i learn more good things about it.

    I know its a great round, Like a laser coming out an AR-15 so could only be even better with a bolt gun. I'll keep that in mind if i'm up that way again

    I have never heard that description for a AR15 before...I thought they were "Spray & Pray"

    No one buys an AK for accuracy, You buy it to see how fast you can empty the mag

    And you can find that out for yourself mate haha

    Dialling is good fun. And you'd be surprised what a good rear rest can achieve plus a little confidence in your shooting ability.

    Offer is out there, men are welcome. I have a size range of chastity belts available to borrow.

    If its forum members you are expecting, you might as well sell them all except for the size SM, and put the money into new kit for yourself
