Yes you can run both thru a 5.56.

Wilde barrels are just "better".

.223 barrel isn't designed for the higher pressure that a 5.56 cartridge will put out.

Excellent,,thank you.

5.56 can use: 5.56 & .223
.223 Wylde can use: 5.56 & .223
.223 Rem: .223

Incorrect

The leade of a 5.56 is what it's not designed for. That causes the pressure spike, otherwise the barrels are the same.

Correct. The difference between Wylde and a 5.56x45 chamber is more related to the use of match ammo if one decided to.

If you're barrel Says 5.56 you can shoot 223 in it .and if it says 223 you can't use 5.56 lots of people think there the same but there not take a 5.56 round and a 223 round and stand them on a table primer down next to each other the 5.56 is taller or longer

If the box doesn't say 223 Wylde don't use it! Anything else is dangerous and will eventually cause a catastrophic failure.

All I know is that my 70's vintage Mini 14 has been fed 1,000's of 5.56 since it was new and have never had a problem. Same for several bolt guns of the same era.
