5.56x45㎜
The 5.56×45mm NATO (official NATO nomenclature 5.56 NATO) is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate cartridge family developed in Belgium by FN Herstal. It consists of the SS109, SS110, and SS111 cartridges. Under STANAG 4172, it is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries. It is derived from, but is not identical to, the .223 Remington cartridge.

CETME L?
So, earlier last year (you know, the dumpster-fire year) we decided to supplant the AR with another rifle. I was thinking short M1A, then lost my train of thought, and 2020 happened.

Recommendations on a .223 Bolt-action ....

That said, I am starting to do some homework on this front for a variety of reasons. Can anyone recommend a rifle that is: Bolt-action. Chambered in .223...- Discussion Thread in Rifle Discussion

Trouble with AAC 556-SD
So, I took the new AAC 556-SD can out for the second time today. The ratchet latch fell off whilst firing. Then the can was stuck on the rifle. :eek: But I managed to get it off. Anyway, I have a message into AAC and I expect to hear back from them tomorrow. I just thought I'd toss...- Discussion Thread in Maintenance & Gunsmithing

Your source for bulk brass-cased 5.56x45㎜?
So, we have, eh-hem, a bit of .223 Remington / 5.56x45㎜ NATO stockpiled. However, I am planning on doing a ton of practice on the primary, defensive, carbine in the coming months, and will have to replenish said as I blast through it. I have a number of sources, and use Ammo Seek on most ammo...- Discussion Thread in Ammunition & Reloading
