title says it all, I want a light walk about rifle in 22 cal, an all round gun of sorts, not really looking at a 22-250 but the other 3 seem interesting. I find it hard to get solid fps numbers on the wildcats vs the 223 and 22-250 in short 22-23 inch barrels. anyone have any real world experience? I will be shooting a 55 gr bullet.
also wat do dies cost for the wildcats?

22-204 = 222 Magnum (222 mag is the parent case for 204 Ruger)
Even in a 22/23" barrel, the 223 AI will be 250 -300 fps faster than a standard 223.

What are you intending to shoot? Does it need to be .22 cal? I would go with a 221 FB for economy and good velocity. 22BR for speed? .223 AI for easy components. 20 Vartarg for 20 cal.

A lightweight walking type varmint gun. I think the 223 ai looks best for a number of reasons.

Although I'm not a 223 fan I have to agree with this, perfect compromise of ease of brass, bullets, performance
