Early b-day present
You know, every once in a while someone really exceeds anything you could have expected where gift giving is concerned.
This time it was my dad. http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.c...ategory_id=229 Frickin'... awesome... Thanks Dad. Now I just have to save up for a decent optic and figure out a grain weight that works well with a 1 in 8" barrel, and hopefully some decent factory ammo in said weight which won't break my budget.

Yeah, it's a .223
Actually it has the 'Wylde' chamber Quote:
I told him it was just as well. Were I buying for myself I would have gone with the RRA anyway.

I'd go with a 60gr BTHP(Boat Tail Hollow Point). You could really do a number on some coyote with that thing. If you plan on keeping the hides of whatever you shoot, I'd keep the grains fairly low. If you are concerned with excessive hide damage from the HP, you could use a plain FMJ.

I'm actually reading that the faster twist still does ok with the more standard 55 grain bullets, but can spin the heavier weights as well. Ah well, I'll just buy a few boxes here and there and see what works. I still don't have room to set up a proper loading bench so handloading isn't going to happen for a while longer.
