Remington 700 LH VS .223 using 52 grn SMK's, sub 1/4 MOA at 100 yards.
Also borrow my Wife's .243 Youth Model firing 90 grn Nosler BT's. Short and fast handling.

I would advise the 223 over the hornet because my son has a hard time finding cartridges for his hornet at times. The 223 will outperform the hornet by quite a bit too.

I absolutely love the .223 round.  It's very accurate, fun to shoot, has very mild recoil (you can watch the bullet hit the target), ammo/reloading is inexpensive, is available in all types of actions, and will do the job out to 300 yards or so.

Hey xXx, what scope is that?
.250 Savage is my go to gun for varmints, or whatever I can grab first.
