Hornady .223 vs .224

[HTTTRH]

What is the difference in these bullets over at Hornadys website?

Also Im looking around at brass and bullets, any advice on whats good and what I should definately stay away from?

What are you looking to reload, how many, and for what use?

That would give us a better picture of how to help you. Also, for .223 Rem, you want .224 bullets.

Im reloading 223 for my S&W MP15, AR-15, I thought I was aware that our bullets are actually 224 but then what would you be loading with the 223?..at Hornady?? Most sites just say 223, but then at Hornady the choice is 223 or 224 so which one. Im easing into reloading and just trying to get everything straight, thanks for your time

.223 Remmington uses .224 bullets.

.223 bullets are for loading in the .22 Hornet.

You want the .224 bullets.

.223 are for the older (pre-war) 22 Hornets. Any current production 22 Hornets can use the .224 bullets.

No difference 224 is just the diameter. An example is a 30-06,300Win Mag 30-30 all use a 30 cal bullets the diameter is 308 for everone of those.....
