Given what you've said - the rifle isn't a to be a high volume shooter, and you reload. Perhaps a 22 Creedmoor might be the thing?
223 or 6.5crmr

22 creedmoor isnt available to me. Our rifle market isnt that diverse. I think il drop the 6.5crm, i have a 6.5x55 already and having another "medium power" rifle will hurt mw in the future if i want to get a permit for something like a CZ600 lux in 8mm or an older irm herman 98 in 9.3x62 for instance. Police here theoretically allow almost everything if you can write up a compelling justification but there is a soft rule on how many rifles of a certain type is reasonable. Having a 308, 6.5x55, 30-06, 8mm, 9.3mm and 6.5crm raises an eyebrow. Just like having 5 shotguns, its not oficially capped, might argue they have different fit and balance for different types of shooting, different optics mounted etc. But there comes a point where they will summon you to the station for a conversation about your "collection"
223 or 22-250 fills its own niche and shouldnt raise ant eyebrows later.

A .223 is a great thing to have whatever way you swing it, it's always feels like a very enjoyable calibre to me personally and my T3X is fantastic, especially for the money.
If English law matched Scottish, I reckon I could be happy with just .22 LR, a .223 and a 12 gauge in the safe, besides the usual desire to acquire more just because.

Hello, I don’t hunt with .223 although I own a 5.6 x 50 R mag (a caliber with similar performance); honestly and without meaning any offense, I believe that game deserves to be hunted at more ethical distances. I have never looked into what the drop of a .22 bullet is at 500 meters, but it must be no less than 4 feet. Not to mention how much it is affected by wind.
A rabbit at 500 meters must look smaller than a coin at 50 meters...
I respect your decision, but I find it hard to agree with it.
Best regards.
