RE: .223 OR .224 Bullets?
That was one of the first mistakes I made loading for my 22-250. the 223 "hornet" bullets don't work worth a dang in my 22-250. They just don't engage the lands and hit the dirt after anything over 150 yards. I cannot tell you how embarrassing that was when I was trying to show off my new Savage on prairie dogs at 400 yards. My shooting partner still finds time to bring it up in conversation.
