welshwarrior Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Real world very little 223 is more popular so ammo is cheaper but 222 rifle are cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh hickey Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 All I want is is a 223 for foxs I spoke to basc today and they told me to see what happens when the Feo comes around to see me next week even they said he was out of order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Maughan Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Ask for him to clear the land to 223 then, if he says no then ask him why exactly it can't be and what are the specific safety concerns he has for .223 over .222?. Explain to him that ballistically there is no difference between the two calibers if you stick to typical varmint bullets. The accepted velocity difference of around 100fps in favour of the 223 doesn't really matter because if you had a 20" barreled 223 it would probably be slower than a 24" barreled .222, even powder choice could make the .222 run faster than the .223 and with more energy. The FEO is either clueless or lazy but either way you should not accept this, there simply isn't any logical reason for it. FO's can often be accommodating when confronted by someone who actually knows what they are talking about, of course that relies on the fact that you do?

welshwarrior Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Be tactful but point out they are balistically the same (maybe have a ballistic table to hand) if he refuses to open up to 223. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neutron619 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 It's probably just me, but I think I'd choose the .222 over the .223 pretty much every time. I'm sure since they're basically identical that that displays some kind of aesthetic prejudice, but I suppose we all have to like the look of something...

Old farrier Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Nowt wrong with trip2, I would be very happy with it.Got one does everything 223 does although mine is UD least favourite make though to be honest mines always shoot realy sweet 😋Best way forward if you want a 223 is ammo available in your area All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Had them running under 3000 and near 4000 and they all delivered. Actually, I love the little 527 mini Mauser. It is very much as easy to shoot as a 22. 200yd off hand shots on rabbits in my twenties were routine with a BDL. I just bought bargain bin bullets, rustled a load together on with bl-c2 or H322 and used them up. Happy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitloop Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 there is not much of a difference in fact the 222 and the 223 is basically the same case. there both a .22 bullet the only difference is about 2mm + in the shoulder height on the 223 and a slightly shorter neck on the brass fps is probably about 100- 200 difference. so id be in the opinion that your flo needs to go back to school as thay don't know the subject ....
