That’s a good reason to have a firearm that shoots 0.223 and another that shoots 9mm.

“That’s a good reason to have a firearm that shoots 0.223 and another that shoots 9mm.”

Allow me to expand on that for you -

That’s a good reason to help yourself to a firearm that shoots 0.223 and another that shoots 9mm. And perhaps consider some heavier ordnance to add to your collection.

Let me try to enlighten you.

You posted a measurement of 0.223. That’s not a .223 Remington which is the proper name for the cartridge. In order to use the name of the cartridge, you would drop the zero and simply write .223 and even drop the Remington name.

If you wanted to use the measurement for that particular caliber, you would have to write 0.224.

Also, I haven’t quite understood why Freepers insist on writing .45 Long Colt. The “Long” doesn’t give it any more boost to the proper name of .45 Colt.
