Nuglol Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Will a moderator stamped 'Remington .222' be suitable to put on a Remington 700 .223 Cal.? I know both cals use the .224 bullet heads but is this a bad choice of moderator? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasons gold Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 If it's only proofed upto .222 that is all you should use it for , as it may not be able to handle the extra pressure that the .223 produces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Will a moderator stamped 'Remington .222' be suitable to put on a Remington 700 .223 Cal.? I know both cals use the .224 bullet heads but is this a bad choice of moderator? Thanks for your help What make/model mod are we actually talking about here? If it's only proofed upto .222 that is all you should use it for , as it may not be able to handle the extra pressure that the .223 produces That doesn't necessarily follow, all a proof says it is proofed up to a certain calibre/energy, that doesn't necessarily mean that is all it can handle! Lots of mods have no proof at all (most of mine don't, rimfire and centrefire), does that mean you can't use them on a rifle at all?

Nuglol Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks guys. It's second hand and bought it from a RFD he reckoned it's fine. The RFD nor myself knew what make it is, sorry. That makes sense about the pressures Jason. Dekers...I'm with you on that question! Should I be using it on the 223? But as you say loads of mods aren't proofed!!

al4x Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'd also question whether as it is marked whether you have the permission to aquire the mod. A pedantic feo might not like it too much if you have permission for a .223 mod and have bought a .222. Use wise it wouldn't worry me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have 1 stamped 223 on a 250, it's still in 1 piece. Don't worry I bet it would be exactly the same mod if it was stamped with 223 or even 22.250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuglol Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Can you put up a picture of it? I have Dekers and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Jaymo Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 To add a pic you need to use the "more reply options" box and add from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx10mike Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 well if it was a new mod i would put it on without a second thought or worrying about complying with the law 1 x centerfire mod is all my police would state.as said the projectile is the same diameter.my biggest concern would be not knowing the condition inside or shot count.if an internal well rusted part fails that would concern me more than any numbers written on the side.if part burned out it may not moderate at its best.bit of a faulse economy in my opinion but when times was harder i know i did it.
