How, pray tell, is this data "closer to the .223 than the .22 Magnum". Inquiring minds would like to know.............
It’s not really a fair comparison IMO as a 5” barreled .223 would be completely impractical but he’s talking about as chambered in that pistol both with 5” barrels not a rifle length barrel.
