.223 or .22-250

90 % of the velocity
for 1/2 the powder
and the ability to bigger projectiles
and more of them-affordability
give the nod to the .223
at least for me

I follow the powder conservation = affordability part, but I am lost on why the 223 can use bigger projectiles and the 22-250 can't. All things being equal but the chamber, then why can the smaller case work with heavier bullets and the larger case can't?

Just curious as to your thoughts on that.
