It is true that with 55gn projectiles there is little difference but modern 223s will happily shoot 80+gn projectiles. There in lies the biggest difference.

A shooter purchasing factory ammo will indeed notice a very distinct difference between .222 and .223 - there is very little .222 ammunition available to purchase unfortunately

The clincher is probably the availability of rifles. Not much choice in new .222 rifles these days. GPM.

Get real you old buggers. You can load up a .222 to be like a .233, but you can load up a .223 to be like a .243. Stick that in your pipe :) .222 is great though. Shot many deer using 50 grain...

I agree. I run 150gr Gamekings, fantastic bullet for sub 250m. A good charge of AR2208 and a 150grn soft point is basically the Labrador of .308 loads - dependable. The interloc is slightly harder...

Greetings Nathan F, It is hard to find anything that does not work in the 150 to 165 grain range. Use what shoots well. GPM.
