For those of you who night hunt,is there any real differenc in the report of a 223 vs a243?Have a friend in NC who bought a 22WMR this year for fox hunting at night since his 22/250 is a little too loud for night hunting.It's legal but he doesn't want to cause problems for people in the area who are sleeping.
I had thought about one but when I read up on the killing range,anything my 22LR won't do needs a centerfire according to most posters.
I have a 243 now but wondered if a 223 would be a little quieter.I know the 22 Hornet is supposed to be but in rifles I can afford,its not available.
Rifle I'm considering is an Axis with a20" barrel.Don't care to have the neighborhood wondering like my neighbor who shot a target beside an old steel tank with a 25/06.There might have been some tannerite involved.
