The correct bullet diameter for the .22 Hornet and .223 Remington is .224 inches. This means that both cartridges use bullets that are standardized at that diameter, allowing for compatibility with similar bullets and reloading components. It's important to note that while the .22 Hornet and .223 Remington share the same bullet diameter, they are distinct cartridges with different case dimensions and performance characteristics.
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.
There isn't enough info to give a correct answer. What grain bullet? What type of bullet? What is the initial velocity? How high are your sights about the bore axis? What range is your far zero?

"Boattail" refers to a bullet that the rear is not flat, but has a taper similar to the stern of a boat. Such bullets have a better "ballistic coefficient" than bullets with square backs- less drag due to better streamlining. 223 refers to the bullet diameter- or .223 inches.
The .22 Long Rifle is a rimfire, whereas the .223 Remington is a centerfire cartridge. The .223 uses a longer 'spitzer' projectile vs. the rounded projectile of the .22 LR. The .223 tends to be a heavier projectile, and has a much higher velocity than the .22 LR.
