>17HMR or .223? Ok, so I am going to be buying a rifle in the next few weeks, and I dont really know a whole lot about this kind of thing. I do have experience shooting, but thats about it. So I am mainly going to be shooting groundhogs, at relitively close range, and just target shooting. I was originally going to buy a .17 HMR, but I started to wonder if I could get a 1 shot kill every time. Then I was looking at a .243 win, but I think that is a little too big of a bullet. So now I am thinking of getting a savage stevens in 223. So what do you guys think? .17 or .223? Thanks |
