Swampcrawler, I didn't like the 223 caliber either. Like you, I didn't know why. But, I finally decided to get a bolt action rifle that was not as noisy as my 220, and after researching all sorts of light rounds (22 Hornet, 221 Fireball, 222, 204 and some wildcats), I went with the 223. These days I shoot that rifle probably more than all the others combined. For a reloader, the possible combinations of powders and bullets and bullet weights are almost endless.
