I kind of feel like I'm being too analytical about this. If you compare the ballistics of the .222 Rem to the .223 Rem with a 50 gr. V-Max Boat tail, there is about a 160 fps difference in the muzzle velocity. That difference goes down to about 130 fps out at 200 yards. My question is what does that translate to in terms of hide damage? Are these as close to the same as they seem? Is there a hidden advantage of one over the other? Other than cost and availability of the ammo.
Thank you.
