Another vote for 223, not much disadvantage with a 223 shooting 75's at most square range matches. The meat and tators are 400-700 so it not like your gonna leave much on the table. Easy to load for, lots of barrel life, you still have to drive it, CHEAP ammo, etc etc.
I'd like to know how you guys are feeling "over travel" during recoil? If I was gonna pick a truck I'd actually drive them instead of sit in them and act like I'm driving (dry fire)
Kinda like the bore scope commentary "how's it shoot" then the same guys with loads that are hammering decide to spend another $1500 and anneal. This place loves to spend $$$$$$
And just like that they are out of stock. I had been shooting the 73 for positional practice, it was easy too, neck size, throw blc-2 and seat a bullet. Guess I'll try the 69 RDF's hope they are as easy as the 73's.
My 223, udder bag, 10-15 rounds, a cold one, and a Marlboro Light. Do some barricade practice, then sit in the shade while the "house mouse" gets her walk in. Lucky to be able to shoot any day I want, which is almost every evening here at my house.
