[QUOTE="436, post: 2322941, member: 16609"] I did the .222 Rem Mag thing in my bolt gun before going to a .223 Rem, honestly wasn't getting anything more from the .222 Rem Mag... from what I could see on the range anyway, paper performance only showed a minor jump in the bullets I was using, plus brass co$t a little more, and a bit harder to come by. So I had the barrel set back to .223 Rem using the same 80gr bullets for both. Granted, I didn't feed them from a magazine, I single-fed them due to the OAL... using heavy bullets, I never looked back. I like the .222 Rem Mag as a cartridge, but... why fight the brass thing for so little in performances in my usage, sure... lighter bullets set to magazine OAL have a little more pick up downrange with the .222 Mag case, not much, but a little. Just my 0.2 Cheers [/QUOTE]
