[QUOTE="Loner, post: 609673, member: 24560"] Bart, I agree commercial 308 loads should be safe in gas guns. Handloads are a different story. Sierra has the best load data for both in their manuals now. The 223 has always been safe in a 5.56. But in the 70's and 80's there was "the broken bolt club" for ar's. The higher pressures of the 5.56 rounds appeared to be stretching the brass into the throat a bit. It was pinching the bullet and driving pressures way up. Winchester had a decent article on it on their website for years. It's probably still there. [/QUOTE]
