.223 Bolt Gun - Best Bang for the buck

[Quintin Likely]

In another thread they mentioned that AR's will shoot surplus ammo, but bolt guns might only shoot commercial .223.

I always thought that was the other way around? Since there's no gas system or anything to worry about cycling the action on a bolt gun, I'd figure it'd be less finicky with different types of ammo.

I can honestly say that other than my little H&R UltraVarmint failing to extract a handful of times, I've never had one of my 223s fail to feed, fire and extract whether they were a bolt rifle or my AR.

Guess I haven't shot them enough... huh?
