Riddle me this....
Instead of all the "because I said so" or "I heard/read", why doesn't someone PROVE it? Is it really that hard to PROVE that they are the same?
"Pray tell, how might this be done?" You ask.
Well, maybe I am being too practical and don't really understand the nuances of modern ammo.
If you take a 5.56 and a .223, trim them to the exact same length, will they not hold the same volume?
But wait, there's more....
Couldn't someone cut one open and with one of their fancy micrometer things MEASURE the thickness?
Yes, I understand that there inherent variables. But an AVERAGE of several cases could PROVE one way or another, could it not?
Or am I missing something....
In truth, I hope this is NEVER settled because the banter is VERY entertaining.
