Yeah, the:

.220 Swift
.221 Remington Fireball
.222 Remington & .222 Remington Magnum
.223 Remington
.224 Weatherby
.225 Winchester

all use the same diameter bullet, along with the .22 Hornet and the .22-250.

As Hotguns says, there's no rhyme or reason for cartridge nomenclature.

Oh, and don't forget the good ol' .38-40. With it's actual .401" bore it makes good use of convenient .40 S&W/10mm bullets.
