This is probably a dead issue for some
![]() ![]() If you are chambered for 5.56 then all is good. This is why you lose accuracy and velocity when using the .223 in your 5.56 chambered AR. that little gap gives just a bit of wobble and that takes away your twist and pressure when using 223. That is why when one person put it you can use the 223 for targets but leave the 5.56 for zombies. Another point is that the casing is thicker in 5.56 than a .223 for pressure reasons. Another thing that was brought up is the lands and twist, I prefer that if you are chambered for 5.56 use the 1:7 this gives optimal velocity for your average 55 grain if you have a .223 a 1:9 is optimal for the same reason velocity. Even though I have no evidence to that as of yet but that is my opinion. I will try that in my next build. Thank you for your time. |

Easy one.... Throat specs are different, 5.56 is generally light AP, the 5.56 has a little more powder, and from the technical point- the 5.56 exerts 15,000 more PSI on average than the remington 223. In lamen terms, a chamber spec to 5.56 will be cut slightly different but will be able to handle the hotter round. A 223 camber CAN hold 5.56, but in the long run, why risk hurting yourself and others around....
The rifling choice is dependent on what weight round you will be using. |

It's essentially a hybrid of the .223 and 5.56 chambers. It's much like what the Mini-14 uses from Ruger. You can use either .223 or 5.56 in a .223Wylde chamber, much like you can use .223 or 5.56 in a 5.56 chamber.
