Default is there really a difference between 223 Rem and 5.56 NATO?

found this article on Western Powders site. I knew that there were some very small differences between the commercial 223 Rem round and the NATO spec 5.56x45 round, but this is the best comparison i have found to date. thought some others here might find it informative.

Interesting info on the thinness of the Federal 223 & American Eagle cases around the primer pockets. Thanks for posting.

After I run cases through the die, ever thing comes out 223.
