Thread: A project for next year

Festive greetings folks.

So new project for next year.

223 factory rifle with a 1 in 8 twist.

To be used for- neck shooting reds to 200 max, goats to 300 and other smaller rabbit sized critters further out.

16" or 18" barrel.

To be handloaded for with 65gr + projectiles.

Scope something in the 2- 10, 2-12, 3-12,4 -12 with a fire dot or comparable type reticle. With the ability to dial a single turn like like a leupold ZL turret or Burris signature HD.

Also to be used by my son when he comes of age and has got the skills behind a 22 to shoot a rabbit with said 223 and then go pop a fallow or red to sleep.

Been a while since I had a 223 since horse face took my last one in 2019 so I'm after feedback on how realistic I am with the 223 idea.

Hot barrels
