Having carried an M-14 my experience with .223 is non-existant . I have 2 questions . What are the diameters of the shell casings ? What is the relationship of the powder in each load on the average ? That is to ask , how much more powder is found propelling the .30-30 than is used for the .223 ?
The reason I am asking is that I was wondering if the barrel was changed in the .30-30 and it was changed around to accept the .223 could it be loaded "hotter" so as to propel the .223 round at a higher velocity . My cousin in Germany is hot to trot on this idea . The logic is that the .30-30 chamber is stout enough to take the .30-30 load so the "hotter" .223 should fire with no trouble . I know there are configuration concerns but he is a Tool and Die guy with a small shop so the machining will be above reproach . Any intel ? Thanks .
