Mark, if you want to try some N310 or N320 I have some here you can use :)
(Or, it may just be a cunning plan to get you to come round so I can nick your VZ off you)

Hmmm, we're wavering between .22 Hornet and .223 Remington (in a Wylde chamer)

The Remington round is cheap and plentiful plus easy to load for, great selection of rifles too.

Glad we agree on the .222".
The biggest drawback with the .223" is that most of the interesting rifles were made and chambered before this cartridge came on the scene.

.223 Rem - Crikey, that is about as boring and predictable as you can get.
What about a 221 Fireball?

Well if the stripey one wants a large choice of rifles to pick from then 221 unicornball is hardly going to crash your browser tab on gun star now is it.
But it is a boring cartridge. Cheap, dependable, accurate, widespread bit boring compared to even .22WMR

Sorry for swearing. My post now makes no sense though. You could have moderated it with context!
