Thread: Is the .223 the most versatile cartridge?

223 is a good cartridge. Strikes a nice balance between velocity and weight when carrying lots of it.

I think that the most versatile cartridge is the one you shoot with the most, because 9/10 times that is what you will use to shoot everything you see. It is also the one you will understand the best (ballistics wise) and understand it's limitations.

I rate the 222 and have a few culler mates that think it has more "knockdown" than the 223... but i put that down to their familiarity with it.
