Yes, they do shoot the same projectile although the 22-250 takes a heavier charge of the same powder over the .223.

5.56 and 223 cal. are the same cartridge...........
The typical AR15 fires the same type of bullet as the M16: a .223 caliber (5.56mmx45mm NATO) round. There are AR-15 rifles that have special barrels made for a variety of popular cartridges, even the little .22LR.
Caliber refers to the diameter of a bullet (bullet is the part of a cartridge that is fired out of the gun). A .223 caliber bullet is .223 inches across. It is normally used as a rifle cartridge. a .45 caliber bullet is more than twice as wide as a .223, and is usually used in pistols. The .223 is lighter- it weighs about 1/4 of a .45 bullet, and they are different shapes- .223 is usually pointed, the .45 is rounded.
The diameter of a .223 bullet is typically 0.224 inches, or 5.56 millimeters. This measurement refers to the diameter of the bullet itself, which is designed for use in firearms chambered for .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO cartridges.
In terms of power, or diameter? A .22 has a bullet diameter of .223 inches, the same as the .223 Remington and 5.56 military cartridge. The .222 Remington actually has a bullet diameter of .224 inches.
Depends on the Caliber and grain of bullet. You can shoot a .22 m4 accurately probably 100-150 yards. Then with the 5.56/.223 round can be shot 600-659 yards accurately.
Any firearm chambered for .223 or 5.56mm
No, a .223 bore and a .22 bore are not the same width.
