Depends on location and game. I worked in and around Geraldton WA. I use to supply roo shooters and farmers, with all their shooting needs as i worked in a gunshop. The 223 will get the job done with a minimum of noise, always head shoot, use nosler 55grn ballistic tips. Good for bunnies (vaporise), foxes cats and roo's.
I use to use a 223 but found it at times not lethal enough at short range, when shooting in crops and when spot lighting at distance. I used a Ruger No1 in ss and lam in 22-250 with nosler 55grn bt. Vx2 4-12x40 mildot i could take a fox at 400m No bs, but 22-250's are loud.
204 ruger tried it once Tikka varmint, good round just pricey stick to the 223.
