[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 167544, member: 4683"] They are both the same 'caliber' -.224- ,they are different 'cartridges' ,although we all know what you mean of coarse. Myself -i've never owned a 223 just a couple of 22-250's . The bottom line is if you take two identical rifles both fast twist same length barrels -load them both to their potential w/ the same 75gr bullet -put them side by side -fire them at a 600yd target -one will land its bullet lower than the other -it will be the one w/ less powder capacity. One will have more of a arch in the tradjetory b/c it started out a little slower. Either will be fine -it's like comparing a 250cc quad to a 300cc quad -one will go a little farther on the fuel [less powder]-one will be a little faster. [/QUOTE]
