[QUOTE="Cedar Creek, post: 2007335, member: 12387"] Not sure what use you have in mind for your AR, but I can report a little on .223 performance. I have been a .22-250 man for over 40 years and turned my nose up at the .223 until I came up with a little Interarms Mini-Mauser in .223 with a Bell & Carlson stock ten years ago. My experience is that the .223 is inherently very accurate and terminal performance on coyotes, etc. is pretty much like the .22-250. I am now getting acquainted with a Mini 14 that is quite accurate with heavier bullets and I will use it as my woods/brush/short range varmint calling rifle this year. A couple of my friends have used Mini 14 extensively and say ugly things about the steel-cased ammo due to the crud it leaves in the action. They use their Mini 14's for deer hunting and are now adding .223 bolt rifles as well. Cedar Creek [/QUOTE]
