Need help with rechambering ideas for .223

So I've built a new AR for coyotes that I absolutely love...shoots great and does everything I've asked it to. I have a Rem700 chambered in .223 that Bob Hart out of PA did a bunch of work to for me and I've always liked that rifle but I just don't shoot it that much anymore. It's accurate as hell...and shoots Nosler 50g stuff amazingly.

But....I just really don't take it out and I hate when shit collects dust. I want to make it fun again..need a caliber that's fast...good for hunting and has some tinkerability when it comes to reloading for it.

The barrel is a 28" 1:10 or 1:11 (can't remember exact twist rate) Hart sendero contour..and I'm thinking maybe I'll just have it rechamberer into something that would make it interesting again.

I've looked into and read up on the .22BR a bit...they sound really cool on paper..but don't know anyone who has one so I can't pick their brains as to real performance in the field when hunting. I'd probably want to stick to a 62g Varmageddon or a 65g SGK...or something similar.

If you were in my position...what would be some rechambering options you might Consider???

Thanks in advance!
22 Dasher or 22cm with 60gn TMK. Giggles will come shortly after.
