22BR. accurate, fast, accurate, flat, accurate, efficient. And did I miss accurate?

You miht have missed the bit about factory ammo being readily available.... looks like .223 is the popular choice.... appreciate the input from all. Cheers

Sorry, tongue was very firmly in the cheek...but it is very accurate

Ah! Fair do's.... I suspect they're all a good deal more accurate than I will ever be though

It's more accurate than I am, but hell, when has that ever stopped any of us?

The .220 swift was extremely popular over here in Ireland for years. I had one myself, a remington heavy barrel. The rimmed round was odd, but easy to deal with once you get used to it. But if i had need of a .22 centrefire again, i'd go for the .223.

I picked the 223 over the triple as ammo is easier to get factory and a wider range. Home load mine with cfe223 and 55g vmax ragged hole at 200 and then some. Easy to load for, easy round to shoot and works a treat on Fox!

.222 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall day long.

just does what is says on the tin, never had accuracy problems with any .222 I have used, that can't be said for a couple of .223 I had over the years.
