Horseshit.

Oh, so you can put a .223 into a .22? Is that right?

But you can't shoot a .223 from a .22 rifle.

Please, have a clue. You just want to argue.

No, and I didn't claim it was, the bullets from both will however fit the
barrels of both, do not be mislead by their nomenclature, there are so
many differing ways of measuring the calibre, across the groves across the
lands or a non-existant measurement which is merely the trade description
of the cartridge.

Do I, or could it be that I simply hold a differing point of view?

Well, you said that a .223 was a .22. If so, it should fit in a .22
rifle. But it doesn't. So functionally, and that is all that
counts at the end of the day, a .223 is not a .22.

Nope. You just want to argue. Anyone who claims that a .223 is a
..22 just wants to argue.

No I said that �223 bullets were the same calibre/diameter as �22 bullets

I think that this discussion is not usefully going to go any further, so
therefore I will agree that we disagree on this point.

Well, since you clipped it away, this is what you said:

>For most of the time whilst I was actively shooting calibre was
>defined by the barrel rimfire or centrefire they were all
>considered to be '?22s'

Now you said that "they were all considered to be '.22s'" This is
what you said. And since "they" included the .223, you said that a
..223 is considered a .22.

That's what you said. Now you can weasel around all you want. But
we just quoted you.

Now we think that we can agree on one thing: you don't have a clue.
And we'll leave it at that.
