another dumb question.....

[boombag13]

thought i'd ask here before finding out on my own, can i safely shoot .222 ammo from a .223 firearm?

 

[trebor2880]

No.

Remember the firearms safety coarse? Only shoot what is stamped on the barrel.

 

[Beretta-Skeet]

It's highly advisable to not take those actions.

I highly advise reading your gun safety book again and I highly discourage you from doing it.

However, if you do this, please put it on youtube. If you can't lead by shining example, at least be a horrific graphic warning to others.

no you can't, .222 is shorter than a .223, it would just fall into the chamber, out of reach of the firing pin.

Unless you were shooting into space.

The only dumb question I know of is the one that is not asked! That being said it is not wise or safe to shoot ammo in a firearm that is a different caliber than that firearm takes!
Thanks for asking your question here before trying this and making a mistake that could result in injury!

 

[Barthom]

Nope.

 

[zelly]

Yes...... I mean no
