[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 654188, member: 17593"] Here's an interesting conundrum. I have a DPMS heavy 20" barreled .223. Says so on the barrel. However, the lower says .223- 5.56NM. I emailed DPMS and asked if I can shoot 5.56NATO in it. They said an emphatic "NO". I have Black Hills ammo and on it's box it says 5.56. No NATO. They don't have an email address. I did look at their web site and my ammo is listed as .223. No listing for 5.56NATO or even 5.56 anywhere. Since I already thought it was ok when I bought them, I shot some with no trouble. Again, I'm not saying it's ok, but I do think B.H. ammo , even though the box says 5.56, is actually new .223 match ammo. Anybody got any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
