The diameter of the tree was measured at 5 inches.ģ. It was noted but not considered part of the testing, with a tree used as a back stop for some of the testing, that all bullets ( 45 to 55 grains)penetrated thru the tree at a distance of 20 yds.Ģ.
( No sounding like a rim fire any more)ġ. An increase in noise level was very noticeable above 7 grains, but still very acceptable. Noise level on the lighter loads ( 4 to 6 grains) were on par with a rim fire. These would be ideal for young shooters being trained.ĥ. The recoil on the lighter loads using 4 to 6 grains of powder had minimal recoil if any at all. I do not believe that their would be a significant difference in the use of a 55 grain bullet vs a 60 grain bullet.Ĥ. Heavier bullets will not serve any purpose unless a 223 is to be used for deer hunting. IN the evaluation of the 223, I came further to the conclusion of the versatility of the 223 in the use of training new shooters, and for a very versatile varmint caliber.Ģ.Ğssentially the 223 can be loaded to the specs of a 22 Long rifle, a 218 Bee, a 221 Fireball, a 222 Remington, a 22 Hornet, and a 22 Win Mag., while allowing the shooter to be able to pick the type of bullet that he prefers.ģ.ěullets were limited to use of 35 grains to 55 grains.
