When I was 13 yrs old, I had a Savage 340C in .222.. Took many a groundhog with that gun,so I know the cartridge is quite accurate..but I have always been told that .222 is more accurate than .223..some say its by a very small margin....but one very serious shooter I spoke with,said its a lot more accurate. I had my mind set on a 527 in .223,figuring its accurate, and has a flatter trajectory than the .222. Hornady claims 3,800fps with a 40gr Vmax,from a 24"bbl. So I would like to know from the very serious .222 & .223 shooters here..whats the truth?
