I have found out that the 1 barrell carb on my 223 is not the original, it seems that somebody took a carb from a 300-6 and put it on my 223, now my question for you carb experts, I'm using alot of gas, only 9.5 miles to the gallon to be precise, I'm sure that the jet for a 300-6 verses a 223-6 are different, is there any way to calculate which would be the right jet to use, for a 223.

Sounds like it may have a bad power valve. Good luck.
