    ...except that .222 Rem Mag doesn't fit so well in the AR15/M16 magwell, which was largely why .223/5.56 became so popular...

    Yep the 223 is a good length & the M16 was built around it I guess.

    The 222 Rem mag came out in 1958 & the 223 in 1964 if my googlefu is working today

    Back then the twist rates nobbled quite a few cases, the 244/6mm Remington springs to mind, just like most of the 22-250s today with a 1-14
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc
