[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 457756, member: 28471"] Hodgdon, Nosler, Hornady IMR, all have load data for a 222 Rem Mag. I don’t see that big of a difference between a .223 & .222 Rem Mag, as a matter of fact Hodgdon is giving the edge to the .223 while nosler gives a small edge to the .222 RM. But we could go all day long about which is better, every gun nut is bias to their favorite call, smith, barrel etc… All are fine rounds and are capable of 500 yard kills as long as you know your rifle and load. I have a friend who shoots a .204 ruger using 55gr Berger’s. It is an impressive load to say the least, I have seen him bang flop a yote an over 430 yards. Right through the chest, no exit… yote shat himself! Makes me wish I would have gone with a .20 practical when I did my rebarrel instead of a .223AI. Just leaves room in the safe for a AR in that Cal. Instead!:D [/QUOTE]
