To be honest, I didn’t do my homework. I saw approx. 200 f.p.s. difference between the 2 in my reloading manual and I just couldn’t see it. I’m going to check into it some more. I will admit I have a 222, but I would never use a 222 or 223 for deer hunting. I have rifles chambered in cartridges better suited for that...
Sounds to me like the biased opinion of someone trying to justify his purchase of a .222...
I purchased my 222 for my use and I don’t have to justify anything...[8D]
