Ever been done?
Factory or custom?
Just seems with the plethora of new and original cartridges chambered these days, the "classic" .223 is an obvious one to do.
I'm really liking the idea... surplus and new .223 is dead cheap, and cheap to load. Good for almost all social applications, and with various loads you can hunt anything short of large dangerous game..
And, so, if its not been done, what action would you start with?
I'm thinking win92, or 94, but a side ejector like a 336 would be great for sight/optic options on the receiver... (Except I don't like 336es otherwise...)
EDIT;
Hmm. my brain skipped a gear or two... pointy surplus ammo in a tube mag would be a problem. But still, for cast loads, I don't see a problem with the right bullet(s).
seems the BLR is the only one ever done. That i can find, anyway.
