Re: 556 N 223,, the same or not ?
Beginning my post with the statement ”Right or wrong” may have sounded cavalier to some of you but that was not my intention. By “right or wrong”, I only meant that I didn’t know that it was considered wrong, or unsafe, to fire 5.56 ammunition in a .223 chamber. A few years ago, I was fortunate to t...

Re: 556 N 223,, the same or not ?
Right or wrong; I shoot .223 and 5.56 interchangeably in three different ARs, a DPMS, Bushmaster and RRA and two bolts; a Savage 340 and a Savage 110. I have never had a problem.
