[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2310140, member: 12170"] [url]http://www.6mmbr.com/223Rem.html[/url] Read this article. The chamber of your firearm is where the difference lies, not necessarily the case. You will use .223 dies on both firearms. However some powder manufacturers list 5.56 NATO load data. Namely Accurate and Ramshot powders. The above poster stating that there is not much of a powder difference to matter is inaccurate. "Tests have confirmed that chamber pressures in a sporting rifle may be significantly higher in the same gun when using military 5.56mm ammunition rather than commercially loaded Caliber .223 Remington cartridges, according to SAAMI." What does all this mean? If you utilize 223 load data exclusively and work up your loads carefully, you and your firearm will be safe.
