okay reloaders who know what they are doing will I dont doubt use loads that will be all okay for their barrel - but my point was that a new shooter who buys factory ammo will not find any real difference in practical terms between .222 and .223 - so if you can buy a sako vixen in .222 and enjoy the best ever made
