I Hope I Didn't Screw Up Too Bad

I dont reload, so .223 is a total winner for me with cheap ammo available for 20 cents per round. Then again, I dont shoot paper for groups, I shoot steel, so ammo quality doesnt really matter out to 400m.

You did good financially. The 300 BO would have been a deal killer for me though. I can't think of a more useless round. Unless you want to shoot suppressed 223/5.56 is a better round in all respects including big game hunting.

I suppose I should clarify my .22 LR statement anyhow. I have never shot any weapon beyond 100 yards simply because I have never had easy access to a range longer than that. I suppose my tastes trend toward pistols anyway (although I do occasionally shoot those at 100 yards). I recently moved and now live within an hour of a 350-yard and 1000-yard known-distance ranges, plus I have some friends with land who have offered to let me come out and shoot. I don't hunt or use rifles defensively, and actually my .22 LR pistols and rifles only come out when I am teaching someone to shoot.

I see an arsenal in your future.

Lol, how would that be different from the arsenal I currently possess?

I reckon that's like asking me if my belly can get any larger. Sure!

I can say with a fair degree of certainty that the only new guns around here will be the ones my girlfriend buys for herself. She desperately wants one (read a FEW) in pink, purple or any other crazy color. I told her that's fine, but it won't be one of my guns!

Well, as I sat here updating my reloading spreadsheets, it occurred to me I have a 7.62x39 conversion kit for my Dillon. Both cartridges use the same powder funnel and .300 BO uses shellplates and locator buttons I already use for .380 and 9mm. I've been setup to load for .300 BO all along!

I once said awhile back I would *never* buy a new gun because I had completed my collection.

Now that is a hoot! There might be a role for you doing stand-up comedy.
