Hey, remember, are we taling about a .222 or .222 Rem Mag???? Difference between the two guns. The .222 Rem Mag is technically better in velocity/energy over the .223 Remington (but barely).

As far as the standard .222, my game warden buddy hunts deer with his .222. He has been doing it now for over 15 years with an old Savage .222. I think hes a jack ass, but he always gets his deer every year. Usually one shot, one kill. He reloads a 55gr soft point and hits them under 200 yards. What can I say about that....????
