.223 Is plenty good out to 500 yards, from my experience. I'd prefer a .308 myself, but I'm a big guy and tend towards heavier rifles just as personal preference. Beyond 500 yards, I'd switch to a .30-06, but again, that's just me.
Are you a member of a range somewhere? Ask around, see if someone has a .223 you can take a few shots with just to see how you like the caliber.
