.223 vs. .17 HMR
I was thinking of getting a varmint/predator hunting rig and most of you are split between the .22-250 and .223. If I got a .243 for the really long stuff, would a .223 or a .17 HMR be better for the under 200 yard stuff? The .223 has an MPBR of around 230 yards. The .17 HMR has an MPBR of around 165 yards. Would the 65 yard difference in MPBR make a difference? The .17 would be cheaper to shoot. I don't really want to be throwing high cost ammo at prairie dogs or coons.
Thank you, TJ
