I'll second the motion for the 223, it's got that little extra but it's still cheap enough to feed, and it's accurate. Tikka, Tikka, Boom! Can anybody explain the main differences between the .222 Rem and .223 Rem rounds? personally run a .204 and love it. Would you recommend booring it out to .223 ?I'm just surprised that none of the internet mercenaries here have gone out of thier way to point out that the .223 Remington is actually a .224 (5.7mm) bullet.What do you think of the answers?
I think .223 was becoming available at the time but I specifically wanted .222 for it's accuracy.Boom, Boom! It's a great little cartridge with a storied history. Ergo a wee bit more powder. My father inlaw has a 222 and has taken many deer with it (I would not use one for that too small in my opinion) but they will do what ever the 223 will. andshoots extremely well. Remington's "triple deuce" once ruled the roost as a benchrest and varminting round. "My first centrefire rifle was the Remington 788 in.222, put thousands of rounds through it, learned to reload the day I bought it, used it hunting virtually every day for almost two years, and was absolutely spoiled by it's ability to unfailingly put bullets wherever I wanted them.

Can anybody explain the main differences between the .222 Rem and .223 Rem rounds? Several members (in other forums) from across the water have Mini 14s chambered for.222. The .222 Remington was eventually eclipsed in benchrest competition by the 6mm PPC. Otherwise my 22 centerfires are 22 Hornet, 22-250, and the 220 Swift.I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?"
There could be drastic consequences such as fire forming of the case to the chamber of the gun amongst other viable malfunctions.The only commonality they share is the bullet diameter.
big boomer, Jul 29, 2008 Just be prepared to reload for it Jeez, if you're going to get bogged down in a comparison between the triple-deuce and the 223, then don't even think about going the compare the '250 or the swift.... but then the 243... oh you may need the extra in the quarter bore, oh if its the .25 then you may as well think of a 7mm, ye but the 308 Win does more.....Splitting hairs a bit unless you're going to be shooting the heavier pills.I have a ruger .222 and love it however on ammo availability and performance .223 wins.You can get bags off 100 military rounds here for $45.22 winchester .22hornet .222 .243 7mm rem mag cbc 12gSeen them in Sportsmarine in Bunbury and shooters shop in Mandurah.Pay to phone first.I steer away from .223 as the ammo does not mix well when you have a ,222 in the car.All my shooting buddies have .243 as do I.We had a situation in the gascoiyne where I reloaded .223 with my .222 dies and shortened the case enough for it to fail to seal.I pulled every round and threw the cases out.We live and learn,only just my mate come back on the quad with bits of copper all over his face.22 winchester .22hornet .222 .243 7mm rem mag cbc 12gI should start a thread on near misses.Same period of time I had access to a workshop and the 2 guys culling the station used it for maintenance.One day one of them turns up with a stuck live round in .223 and he had removed the stock for some reason.He asked my advise and I said put the stock back on go out of ear shot of the station and let it go it will probably extract if not knock it out with a cleaning rod.I found out later he fired it sitting around at where they were camping and missed the real shooters foot by a foot.He wasonly there a few more days then he went home.22 winchester .22hornet .222 .243 7mm rem mag cbc 12gI vote for the .223, more versatile, greater game choices and , from what I can gather, it's also cheap(er) to reload for.

There is nothing the 223 can do that a 222 can't match for Oz shooting. Still, the .222 Remington has its small marketplace as firearms that are factory chambered for the .223 Remington/5.56x45mm NATO caliber are often rechambered for the .222 Rem.
some 222 owners have had their guns made into 223. Regarding distance it wouldn't be anymore than 400m.
The .222 is smaller than the .223/5.56x45 and weaker. These types and calibers of guns were designed mainly for varmint hunting.I would definately never shoot .222 bullets out of a .223.
