[QUOTE="Quackshot, post: 2873532, member: 33487"] Let's pour a little gasoline on this fire. I think VB has skewed the numbers like a politician making a campaign speech. First thing kick out the 29 inch 22-250. You can't buy that off the shelf and it wasn't even part of the original question. Let's kick the 223AI for the same reasons and by the way I'll never believe that .9 grain of powder increase will give you 200fps with a safe pressure. Back to 204R vs. 223. I couldn't find a load in my manuals that produced 3800 fps from a 223 with 40's. But assuming you can, then you need to compare the 204 with 32 grain bullets as both would be in the same light for caliber class. The 204 then would be 400 fps faster with a higher bc. I have to admit if cheap brass is your motivation then the 223 has an advantage. But once you own the brass there is virtually no difference in cost to reload. No offense meant to anybody I just want to set the record straight as I see it. If anybody wants to see some incredibly impressive numbers try running some charts on the 20-250. [/QUOTE]
