RE: I GIVE UP TOTALY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't give up TOTALLY.. I have a .223 and I like it.. it really does a number on groundhogs. And since I don't eat them it's just fun to watch them blow up. I also have a .308, (several .22 lrs ranging from Marlins to $3000 competition Anschutz), .17 HMR and a 22-250. I just feel that it has it's place and if you want to eat the animal, are hunting in a special reg zone, crowded area or shooting up trees.. something with a little less get up and go is in order.
