No discussion of .223 Remington ammunition would be complete without mentioning the AR-15 style rifles that are so popular with today’s gun enthusiasts.

Some AR-style guns are chambered for .223 Remington ammo while others are chambered for  5.56x45mm NATO. Although these two cartridges look almost identical on the outside, they’re definitely not alike on the inside.

In the simplest of terms, many shooters like to think of the 5.56 as a .223 +P round. federal 223 ammo 100 round value pack

More significant than their internal differences, the rifles these ammunitions are fired from have different barrel configurations.

Because of these differences, the two cartridges are not interchangeable. If shooters attempt to fire a 5.56x45mm round from a rifle chambered for the .223 Remington, the resulting pressures could be dangerously high. According to SAAMI standards, the pressure may exceed the .223 barrel’s capacity and be dangerous to both the firearm and the shooter. Bulk 223 Ammo In Stock Sale
