A .223 traveling less than around 3000fps when it hits the target makes a .22 hole. Might as well use a 22LR rifle.

The whole key to the .223 is low grain bullets that hit and cause 'hydrostatic shock' on the human target, which can kill someone even if hit in the arm.

A .223 traveling less than around 3000fps when it hits the target makes a .22 hole. Might as well use a 22LR rifle.

So to you, a 77 grain .223 at 2,800fps is the same as a 40 grain .22LR at 1,000fps?

Spoken like a true gun pro. NOT.
