I sold my Remington tube rifle recently and have found I miss practicing with the 223. I have a Savage 308 Dual Port F-Class rifle. Currently have a 308 & 6BR barrels, head space gauges and swap them depending on what range I'm shooting (600yd 6BR 1000yd 308 FTR).
Just looking for some opinions on what is the best approach to the 223 barrel 1x8 or 1x9, have lots of 80gr SMK & AMAXs.
Most importantly, better to have a 223 specific bolt vs the bolt head?
I know Midway has the 223 bolt assembly - extractor

Thoughts & opinions - please

Thanks in advance
