Re: What's the best 1st Full Auto?
I'd say an AR-15 with a .22lr conversion. A LOT more bang for your buck, and you can always fit the bolt with the Norrel type of cyclic rate reducer, to get the cyclic rate down from 30 shots a...

Re: Minimum bbl length for .233

The SB is not a 357, and it is an SA, with the slow hammer fall and the ton of bricks hammer impact and the plow handle grip problem of getting a different grip each time.

Re: High powered long range rifle?
You aint watching very close, cause the 223 AR-15's are doing very well at 1000 yds. Mostly because the best shooters use them for the other stuff, and they like and know their rifles very well.
