Bradders Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) A quick question and I hope a simple (and quick) answer. I have some land(s) that is cleared by the firearms department for 223 and 22 centre fire. I asked what the difference was and the person I spoke with was not sure. I am guessing that 22 centre fire includes all 22 designated cals such as 223, 243 etc. Advise welcomed. Bradders And yes I know I spelt centre fire wrong in the topic......

Billy. Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The person who you spoke to probably doesn't understand the difference. You are right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders And yes I know I spelt centre fire wrong in the topic...... he person you spoke to should be sacked but back to your question "land passed for 22 CF" means any 224 caliber rifle IE 22 hornet 222,223.22.250 just to let you know a 243 isnt a 22 its a 6mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The person who you spoke to probably doesn't understand the difference. You are right. no he isn't It does include all .22 cf's which generally start with a 2 then another 2 so not .243 Basically its the bullet diameter which is .22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Thanks for the prompt replies, very much appreciated..... .22x makes perfect sense now...... Just a final question, I have a piece of land that is specifically cleared for "up to .223" so by it's implication that would include all .22x calibres as well.

garyb Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Actually it includes all calibres UPTO and including .224 .. ie 17, 204, 222, 22-250, 223 etc Edited August 3, 2011 by garyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) that mean no caliber bigger than a 223 can be used on that ground unless you have an open ticket of course I am working on that, letter typed and ready to go with another permission form that requires a land check. Once again, many thanks for the replies. Bradders. Edited August 3, 2011 by Bradders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 up to .223 would be interesting if they included 22-250 its probable they wouldn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackley Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 up to .223 would be interesting if they included 22-250 its probable they wouldn't how can inc a 22.250 mate when it clearly states "up to 223" the 22.250 is a bigger caliber even though it uses the same 224 bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) in what way is the caliber different? the cartridge is but the bullets the same .224 Edited August 3, 2011 by al4x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackley Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 in what way is the caliber different? the cartridge is but the bullets the same .224 thats like saying a 222 is the same as a 223,the 223 is bigger but again uses the same size "bullet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixhills 69 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I spoke to my FEO at work today and he explained that the 22-250 is a 22 center fire as the bullet is the same dia but the energy produced is more than a 222 or 223 so that would be a 22-250 is slightly more powerful and the upper end of the .22 centerfire calibers and they can put restrictions on the land as to the energy levels so what your land is cleared to is a 223 and its max energy levels which he also explained they get form companys that produce ammunition (not home loaders) hope that makes scence. Im sure some one will be able to explain it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 **** **** ****, this is ****** killing me: I agree with Ackley! Calibre is defined as the diameter of a cylindrical body, especially the internal diameter of the bore of a firearm. What it boils down to is that firearm terminology is a hotchpotch with misnomers in abundance. The best one can hope for is to be able to understand what anyone else actually means without being mislead by the words coming out of their mouths.
