And I would get a regular barrel. As you eat the throat out you can extend the round.

With a VLD setup once its eaten out that's the end, the rifling can be fine, but it looses accuracy.

You'd have to do a whole lot of shooting to shoot the throat out of a 223,not exactly a big worry to most shooters.
