Yup, that's what my 223 is for.

Sorry 9.3x62, I could only fit 5 on the list and I had several other's on my mind.

I'm actually a big fan of my 22/250 for what you mentioned but the cheap and available ammo for the .223 is what caused me to vote that way!
If I were suggesting for someone other than me the choices would go .223, 22/250, .243 in that order. For me I own all 3 but the 22/250 is a favorite for sure.

The .223 has so totally eclipsed the others with raw performance and economy that it's an easy decision.

Forthose that have seen it shooting against the .22-250 on Prairie dogs they're the most impressed of all.......it stands toe to toe with the faster cartridge.

The poll results are truly justified.

Well guys, I ended up going 22-250.

I know the majority went w/ the 223 vote but, I was able to get the 22-250 for around 100 bucks cheaper in the model I bought. I found a shop that had a 22-250 for the right price.

I went w/ a Remington XR100 Rangemaster w/ the pepper Lam stock that has the vented beaver tail fore arm. I roll my own so, I don't think cost will be too much of a bother and if I want to bring her down to 223 speeds it wont be a problem.

Looks like a bedding job is going to be on short order as well as some Leupie Rings and Base.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

How about "None of the Above!" -- a .308 would be my choice. I do not even own a rifle under 30 cal!! Nor do I have a want to do so!

.204 Ruger.

Reloader, enjoy the new "toy" and may it out shoot your previous best groups.

It has taken me 25 years to warm up to the 223, and msot of my liking centers around the fast twist/heavy bullet options now available. I still like and use the bigger 22-250 tho...
