I would actually suggest getting a rifle in 5.56. The pressures are a bit higher than .223. You can shoot .223 out of a rifle rated for 5.56, but not the other way around.
Sure, and this is where I forgot we were talking about the US of Murica, because where I live I can’t privately own a riffle in 5.56 but .223 is just fine for sport and hunting. And you can buy surplus 5.56 FMJ rebranded as .223, at least I think that’s what it is, for sport and training (but not legal for hunting). Which was why I went with the .223 as my suggestion.

My theory is that this is rebranded military ammo https://huntershouse.dk/kat2654-.223-Rem./side18499-Magtech-.223-Rem.-FMJ.html Because it’s like half the price of the soft tip hunting ammo.
