[QUOTE="thumbs, post: 925303, member: 624"] Ok, I always thought the brass was different between .223 and 5.56. I am seeing more and more bolt rifles "listed" as .223/5.56. I "think" this incorrect but want to ask. The only one I know of is the Mossberg MVP. I know I can safely shoot .223 in a 5.56 chamber but not 5.56 in a .223 chamber. Now is the brass different or is the load different? I know the 5.56 creates higher chamber pressures that is not recommended for .223 chambers. Now the question is if I load 5.56 brass to .223 specs is it perfectly safe to shoot in a .223 chamber? In other words is there any physical difference in .223/5.56 bass. I was just looking at a once fired brass supplier and it lists the brass as .223/5.56 and say it's mixed. If the .223 chamber is different than the 5.56 this would seem to be a dangerous practice. So whats the truth about .223/5.56 brass. thanks for the help [/QUOTE]
