@carlhurley I see you haven't shot the .223, but from your experience with the .308 do you think the BLR would be significantly slower than the GBC? I'm trying to imagine the required hand movements, which is difficult having fired neither. As we've discussed previously, I have wondered if a 223 BLR with the 9/10rd detachable mags would be the closest thing to an AR for goats in the bush.
