    Main difference between the two - for some reason the .222 only ever seemed to be produced in barrel twists that really limited the weight of pill. Modern .223's with fast twist barrels are a lot more versatile than the older slow-twist jobbies, and if you can still pick up new .222's they don't seem to have the faster twist rates that give you the versatility.
