I had a .22 Hornet for a while, ordered some .223 bullets in specially for it. Stupidly I checked them with the mic - no difference to the .224 bulk pack ones I was using prior to getting them in. ...

I think arguing about calibers gets a little academic - most hunters won't use more than a couple of packets of ammo a year. For the average person, a rifle plus required bits, ear protection and...
