Thread: 222 vs 223 on deer

Which is better 222 or 223?
222 Remington performance is only slightly less than the more common 223 Remington. A 55 grain 222 Remington round travels at 3,095 feet per second with 1,170 foot-pounds on target. Compare that to the same 55 grain 223 Remington round which travels at 3,240 feet per second with 1,265 foot-pounds on target.

is that substantially better - I would suggest only marginally better - look a goat or fallow at 100 yds thru shoulder -will they notice- likely not - and on that note I give up as I am a dedicated .222 shooter always have been - long live that fine caliber
