Honestly, I’m glad nothing catastrophic has happened to injure you or destroy the rifle! Is it a bolt-action or semi-auto? (That does make a slight difference that I did not mention in the vid). There is still much debate out there about firing 5.56 out of a .223 barrel, but the scary truth is that there IS a larger pressure spike than recommended by gun manufacturers when firing 5.56 out of a .223, and I personally wouldn’t want an over pressured metal tube possibly detonating that close to my face! But that’s just my opinion. Another problem from shooting 5.56 in a .223 gun is throat erosion, as the 5.56 round is designed for a longer lead. It can start to wear down the early rifling in a .223 barrel, reducing its accuracy when shooting .223 as opposed to 5.56. So you'll be adding wear and tear to your barrel by doing it. In gas-operated guns, it also has a different pressure curve which can increase the pressure on the gun's piston or operating rod. The primary problem you will encounter is that a steady diet of 5.56 will damage your accuracy when shooting .223. Just some food for thought! Stay safe out there, and thanks for the comment!

I did many tests myself and there are a load of youtube videos that show you that 78 grain in a 1/12 twist rifle works fine, same the other way around as long as your rifle/barrel "likes" that particular ammo. One can easily shoot 44 grain out if a 1/7 twist barrel if your barrel “likes” the ammo. Barrel twist rate is a general indicator but does not means crap in the real world.

Ultimately that’s because his simple explanation is wrong. The 55k vs 60k psi chamber pressure isn’t the problem. A .223 chamber/barrel can easily withstand 60k psi- they are not designing barrels with that slim of a safety factor. The issue is the ogive of the bullet and how it interacts with the leade. 5.56mm projectiles (because of the wide variety available) have a greater allowance there and if you have a short leade the bullet strikes the lead before it can really get moving. This has the potential, depending on a variety of factor, to cause an over-pressure event in excess of the safe operating pressure of the 5.56mm. The normal 5.56mm pressure doesn’t blow up a .223- the excess overpressure caused by the combination is the problem.

This is so false on so many levels. First of all barrels and chambers are proofed to way higher pressures than they will ever likely experience. 5000psi over pressure is not going to harm a rifle action. The freebore (section of barrel before the rifling begins) is longer in a 5.56 to improve combat reliability. It allows slightly more room for dirt, carbon, etc to be in the chamber and still cycle reliably. Pressure differences on paper also come from the two different testing methods used to measure chamber pressure for 5.56 and 223. When measured the same way the pressure differences all but disappear. 223 chambers are typically used in bolt action rifles which are by nature inherently stronger mechanically than semi autos so if a 5.56 doesn't blow up a semi auto platform it's certainly not going to damage a bolt action. That 55k psi rating on the 223 was for a standard 55gr bullet. Heavier bullets used often for hunting see much higher pressures even exceeding that of the 5.56 standard pressure. So there I just deconstructed your argument like 8 different ways. Please go read some reloading books before giving information on stuff like this. I hear this all the time from idiots at the gun counter and it's getting really old.

I can't say if the pressure caused that or not, but it wasn't there earlier. I got it welded up by a machinist friend that taught prisoners the machine trade. It has worked just fine for years, since then. I don't shoot 5.56 on it anymore, though.

5.56 is 60K/PSI measured via piezo transducer while the .223 is 55K/CUP measured via the copper crusher. When the known variance between the two methods are applied, they are of like pressures. While not equal, they reside within the known margin of error for the standard of either. The “leade” length in the chambers is the critical difference. Because of magazine length design restraints, OAL cartridge length must conform for proper and reliable feeding, thus establishing a narrow margin for leade specifications, which results in different go/no go OAL chamber lengths.

The difference is that the 5.56 has to work in multiple military platforms reliably. It also has to have tight tolorences to work the actions of the rifles and belt fed machineguns reliably, as well as have the same pressures whether it be a tracer, ap, or ball ammo being pushed down range. .223 caliber rifles can have a variety of weights and speeds, but they do not have to work in full-auto rifles, nor belt fed anything. The only standard is what that case can handle safely, along with the caliber of metal being shot out.

Here’s an interesting sidebar. Back in late 1990’s I purchased two cases of Remington 62 grain match .223 ammo after shooting a 20 round box of it inside a half MOA at 100 yards in slow fire single round feed prone sling supported position with irons from my match conditioned Service Rifle. During 200 yard rapid fire stage sitting position at first match with this ammo however the rounds failed to feed from Mag to chamber. It appeared the very broad hollow point bullet tip was bumping the mag and thus stove piping the action. A call to the designer of this round at Remington revealed that this loading was never tested by Remington in an AR-15. Long story short, they refunded my money and I moved onto other brands of match .223 ammo for competition, eventually settling on 75 grain Black Hills.

That is right and reloading data can show powered charges that exceed any and all 5.56x45 or 223 and never does these reloading dates cause blown guns / my own reloads have so much pressures when loading 223 or 5.56x45 brass the primers are flat and at times the primer indent from firing is burnt out, never have I blown a rifle in 223 or 5.56x45 chambers / It is all a F ing lie by stupid morons that repeat heard garbage./ and also barrels aren't made from different steel for one or the other cartridges

As a 91Fox you are correct. It has nothing to do with the COL even , it really only matters with charge. The 5.56 is hotter to compensate for the loss in gasses due to the 5.56 mostly being used in sloppy automatics with NATO its not really an issue anymore and was only really dangerous back in the 70s after the Vietnam and Northern Ireland conflicts. There were alot of surplus ammunition and there were fatalities in the early 80s were some old Winchester rifles gave up the ghost. Again it isn't an issue anymore only during reloading.

I owned an AR15 back in the 70s. I bought .223 and 5.56 as ammo was available, never a problem. I did have occasions of percolating while shooting. Friends of mine always told me the M16 is 'famous" for cooking off when hot. I did not think so at the time as due to the cost of the ammo and my limited finances I really never went crazy and shot a lot of rounds at any given time. I also experienced occasional issues of failure to eject. It seems clear now with this information that I was very lucky back in my shooting days. Thanks for the info.

The pressure differences just isnt enough to cause a catastrophic failure, the probability of a 5.56 exploding a .223 barrel is slim to none unless the barrel was poorly made in the first place in which case even some hotter .223 would be dangerous as well
@sargepent9815

Another reason the 5.56mm has a bigger chamber is because the M16/M4 family of rifles needed to be compatible to fire the M855 (greentip) ball ammo as well as the M856 tracer. The tracer is a longer projectile than the ball ammo and the rifle needed to be able to feed both rounds. Now, for obvious reasons tracers USUALLY weren't used by rifleman (because it gives away your position), but the weapon was designed to fire this back during its original development stage. A civilian AR15 will never need to fire tracers, so a .223 rifle wasn't designed to need this slightly longer chamber. Another difference is in the cases themselves. The 5.56 cases are slightly thicker to withstand higher pressures, and the primer pocket is crimped in order to help prevent the primer from separating from the case. This requires additional preparation to reload NATO brass

A .223 Wylde chamber is a hybrid rifle chamber designed to allow .22 caliber barrels to safely fire both .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. While the cartridge dimensions of both rounds are the same, 5.56 NATO loads produce pressures in excess of the .223 safe spec.

"5.56" is specifically the M855/SS109/M855A1. M193 is interchangeable with 223 because they both have 55 gr projectile and both under 55,000 psi

Ive pulled bullets on .223 saami ammo and found 24-24.5 grains of powder. Pull a true 5.56mm cartridge and there will be 27.5 grains of powder. OAL is the same at 2.26in and the difference in the 223 vs 556 chamber. ETA the powder charges change with projectile weight. Heavier bullets take a lighter powder charge.

This one gun shop I used to go to used to pick on me for using only 223, my rifle is a bolt action chambered for 223. They used to say "what are you scared of the same bullet" my response was "No I'm just using what my gun was chambered for" I ended up taking my business elsewhere, the shop I go to know is owned by a couple of older gentlemen who gave me a loyal customer discount.

The 5.56 casing is also annealed to reduce internal stress cracking thus allowing for higher pressures inside the brass. The primer is also crimped into the primer pocket to keep it stable under full auto fire. Older NATO primers were also harder to prevent premature detonation in extreme weather and belt fed guns. When reloading 5.56 casings the primer pocket needs to be reamed so a new primer can be crimped.
