I'll try to explain my screen name. Blackbart was a bandit who robbed stage coaches in California in the nineteenth century. I don't rob stage coaches but I like the name. Go figure. As to the .223, I have two rifles in that caliber and they give me good long range performance.
As to your reference as something as "wrong as hell" I assume you are refering to replacing the .308 or 30/06 as military rounds with the .223 (5.56 nato).
Did I hit the mark?
