Interesting but oversimplified article:
223 potentially deadlier than the . 22 is its velocity. When the . 223 exits the barrel of a gun, it flies at more than 3,200 feet per second, and is still going 1,660 feet per second after traveling 500 yards.
That number sounds a bit high. They can limit the muzzle velocity by limiting the propellant, but even at 2200 fps this round is deadly because it tumbles and breaks up so easily. It\'s all about the bullet.
