5.56 NATO / .223 Remington |
| |
|
The 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington is one of the most popular rifle cartridges in the world. It has proven itself as a military cartridge for nearly 50 years, and is also wildly popular with hunters. Prized for its flat shooting, with excellent accuracy and good terminal ballistics. We offer nearly all of our rifles with a true mil-spec 5.56 NATO chamber. The only exceptions: the Heavy Bench Target Rifle and Precision Marksman Rifle with the 24" heavy profile barrel are chambered in .223 Remington. The 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington cartridges share identical dimensions, though military 5.56 ammo is typically loaded to higher pressures and velocities than commercial equivalents. Please note that while they are generally interchangeable, chamber dimensions for the .223 Remington are slightly tighter than those of the 5.56 NATO. Use caution when firing military 5.56 NATO ammunition in a .223 Remington chamber. |
