Maybe if you sounded like you knew what you were talking about folks would listen. Not trying to put you down but your posts seem like you are pretty inexperienced when it comes to ballistics and you feel just because you shoot the 223 that it is the best. For instance, you recommended a 223 for squirrel and rabbit hunting. Do you have any idea how much damage a 223 would do? There would be no meat left. Again, not trying to put you down, but live and learn.
