.223 versus 5.56mm

There are a number of surplus arm around in .223 Remington caliber and others that are 5.56mm. There is a difference between these two cartridges. The link below covers the topic very well. You can fire .223 ammo safely in a 5.56mm chamber. Going the reverse route can be a problem. All the best...
