5.56 vs. .223: Which Can I Shoot?

[ScottJ]

If one reads through all of the posts in this thread quickly, noting all the .223/5.56 back and forth, it starts to sound like the Abbott & Costello bit "Who's On First".

223 Wylde offers better accuracy, barrel life, & the ability to shoot the lightest to heaviest 223 & 5.56 rounds.

That sounds better than a stock 5.53 solution then...

Some good points Tayln made. I was specifically referring to what twist you could get in the barrel (.223 Wylde) which as we know, you can get it in, be it .223 or .556. A couple good articles on the Wylde chamber. If one was looking to put an AR together it would be worth a look to go with the Wylde chamber.

Is a 223 Wylde chamber the best chamber for your AR-15?

What is 223 Wylde? How Does it Compare to 5.56?

It's growing quickly in some shooting circles but what is 223 Wylde and why should you consider a rifle chambered in it instead of 5.56 or .223 Remington?
