Ok, I'm finally buying a rifle. Well a non-.22LR rile. My choices are between .223 and .308.
I will mostly be shooting paper at the range and have up to 300 yards to do so. I'd like to maybe do some competitions and will take either gun on a hunt for prairie dogs in the North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. I may go after other varmints eventually too, but 99%will be punching holes in paper. I will be reloading whichever I choose.
My choices are between .223 and .308. At this time, I'm not interested in a cartridge that falls in between and don't want to buy both at this time.
Any help is appreciated.
