I admit I haven't seen it all, but I've not seen a .223 rifle which wouldn't chamber a 5.56 NATO. That doesn't mean you should shoot the 5.56 in a .223 chamber.
First you say your gun is "AKS-223 CAL .5.56X45mm Semi Auto," Then you say "This is my problem. My rifle is only chambered for the .223 and not 5.56 Nato or milspec."
Which is it? Is the barrel stamped 5.56x45, or what? What makes you say it is 5.56x45mm?
My next move would be to grab a handful of those "darker" ones and head for a friend's or a friendly gun shop and see if those rounds would chamber in a 5.56. If they won't something is wrong with them. If they will, something might be wrong with your gun.
You said "They are not marked on the green ammo cases that they are in. I guess that the darker ones are 5.56's and the brighter ones are .223's."
Are they not head stamped? Guess work isn't good here...
