Can you shoot a 222 in a 223 rifle?

No, you cannot safely shoot a .222 Remington cartridge in a .223 Remington rifle. While both cartridges look similar, they have different dimensions and pressure specifications. The .222 is shorter than the .223, and using it in a .223 rifle could lead to dangerous chambering issues or unreliable performance. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your firearm to ensure safety and optimal functioning.
