A good point re the drilling date - I'll double check my facts with the serial number because it does seem odd! It was also manufactured as 8x60 because the military 8x57 was under strict control and not allowed for civilian use. Their answer to that was to create a new calibre that was allowed, but would still fire 8x57 ammo! At least that is my understanding of it.

.223 is good for crows. I assume a hooded crow is similar to our regular ones? If so a good 40-50gr bullet will fluff it up nicely! That or a 55gr from a .243!
