.222 is great though. Shot many deer using 50 grain Hertenburger (sp) ammo. But they were not a patch on what you can do with a .223 nowadays using heavy soft projectiles.

.222 and .223 are only close really using factory ammo.

okay but how many hunters reload and are willing to burn their 223 barrel out by supercharging it
