    That missus of yours is to good to you Dundee. You eat like a king.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Close?? I buy Hornady 223 at about $50 for 50, Hornady hmr is about $30 for 50. Kinda close I guess, if you're Andrew little discussing your current employment position

    Got one of the annoying Aussies. 17 hmr is a neat little cartridge.

    i am reloading for around 50c a round but even so I would have thought the 223 would cover more bases for people for not much more in ammo cost

    I agree. The hmr is a tad better if you want to keep the noise down compared to a 223. Apart from that and recoil 223 hands down

    Ahhh but reloading rimfires isn't much of an option, so yes it is.
