Yes both the 5.56 and the 223 use .224 inch diameter bullets.Ok thought bullet diameter is 224 so wasn't sure if it works.
the chamber in a 556 has more freebore length and leade before the rifling starts VS 223 Rem to cope with the higher pressure of 556 NATO ammunition.
True dat.well thanks......don't need corrected though as what I said is fact......I used to make barrels.
Dont know or care about the rest of the world but 556 nato has more pressure than 223 rem.
Good answer.They took the 223 rem and opened up the throat/freebore/leade , whatever you like to call the area after the shoulder and before the lands , to cope with the higher pressure the 556 was producing. Its the reason they say don't make a habit of shooting 556 in a 223 chamber . 223 in a 556 is fine but accuracy suffers
