[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 925704, member: 48043"] The throat is longer and the origin of the rifling is a bit shallower in 5.56 ammo to accommodate the higher pressures encountered. You will most likely get 5.56 ammo to fit in a 223 chamber, but you should load to milder specs and watch for interference in the throat. I see no reason for the external case dimensions themselves to be different; they are loaded with the same die sets. [/QUOTE]
