Interesting artical on 223 vs 5.56

[Dano3467]

chambers & pressure. (5.56/223/wylde)

I found it quite enlightening, maybe not so much for long time precision reloader's, but newbis are gonna get something from this.

For your enjoyment.

That's a little reassuring. I was told long ago that it was certain death to fire 5.56 in a .223 gun.

Now I understand it's pretty damn unlikely but still faintly possible death.

I'll stick to the 5.56 rifles and 5.56 ammo that I've been using.

Interesting exercise. I've shot the two rounds interchangeably for years and years. Everything is still attached.

That's because you can't reload 5.56

Look, simple as this:

223 in 5.56 = OK

5.56 in .223 =
