223 definitely. Much more versatile. Although depending on how close your "close range" is you might want to check out a 22 lr. I've killed plenty of groundhogs with mine. You should be able ot head shoot a groundhog out to about 75 yards or so. If you have never owned a gun i would definitely go 22. If nothing else it makes gh hunting more of a challenge cause you can't snipe them at 300 yds. plus ammo is extremely cheap compared to anything else.

P.S. im from west central ohio, where you from? lol
