    A 223 bolt gun is cool (I have a Bighorn Action 223 Ackley/300 Whisper switch barrel) and very fun to shoot, but past a few hundred yards the low BC of the 75 and 80 gn bullets start to suck.

    A 6mm or 6.5 mm something is much more enjoyable to shoot, low recoil with high BC bullets.

    ^^^ this, it also opens up a whole new world of shooting, an expensive one, but by far one of the most challenging and rewarding ones too IMHO.
