I like the .223. Its a great universal cartridge.
But I have to question the use of the words “high powered” to describe it.
Yes, it is a .22 on steroids and as such MIGHT be considered “high powered.” But when I think of high powered, I’m thinking 30.06, .308, 7.62x54R, something that starts with .3xxx. .50BMG is definitely a HIGH POWERED round.
But I guess I’m p!$$!ng in the wind by thinking that a nitwit journalist should know such a thing. Hey, maybe she does, but the gratuitous use of fantastic, sensationalist descriptors is what this is all about.
...at least she didn’t call it an assault rifle...
If your shoulder isn’t black and blue after 60 rounds than it isn’t high powered. Your description is very good thou.
“High-powered” sounded better than “scary big black gun.”
