[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3734586, member: 15054"] I have 2 .223 rifles and I have shot 5.56 and .223 and but neither of those store bought calibers can match my reloads in accuracy or drop. My loads kick harder than either of them knowing kick is not a positive sign of pressure. I believe original 5.56 was rated in CUP and tested that way and the .223 was tested in PSI. I have read hours of stuff on the 2 and read many tests that measure many different 5.56 and .223 ammo. The conclusion was some .223 had more pressure than 5.56. and some 5.56 had more pressure than some .223 talking store ammo here. I actually tested different primers to fail and pressures were very high. [/QUOTE]
