Overall I believe that is hard for average shooter to go wrong with the .223.
It is still probably the least expensive of most small calibers to handload for and out to 350-400 yards it is still a pretty good round for prairiedogs. I had mine out the other day shooting a few dogs. One thing when it is 20 degrees out, the barrel stays pretty cool. And, like you say, for the most part they are pretty darn accurate. I very good value.
