it's my 30th birthday in december and the wife has very kindly decided to buy me a new rifle, at the moment i shoot 17hmr and .308 and with the .308 being used on foxes i have decided that a dedicated foxing caliber will be the most usefull to me. but this is where i come unstuck, there really is just to much choice and opinion out there and after much deliberation i have nailed my choice down to the following .223 or .22-250. in the past i once owned a .223 but i never got on with the rifle so i let it go which may be leaning me more towards the .22-250 but i dont know if i should give the .223 a second chance and i know that there are other calibers out there and i dont want this thread to decend into my caliber is better than yours but i would like to hear other people's opnion on the calibers and which one i should go with and if any one needs to know, i will be re-loading for it, it will have a mod on, i will be shooting foxes out to a MAX range of 300yrds, i want it as flat as possible and it will be paired up with a s+b 4-12x50
