[QUOTE="436, post: 2801404, member: 16609"] Actually, both the .223 Rem, M193 ball, and the 5.6x45mm NATO came from the .222 Special, just a name change. The .223 Remington... was first into the sporting rifle game in 1962 in a Remington Model 760 In September 1963, the .223 Remington cartridge was officially accepted and named "Cartridge, 5.56 mm ball, M193" by the government. Side note: I still have a mint Remington Model 760 pump in .223 Rem from 1962 No you can't shoot M193 or NATO in it. It is deadly accurate however as varmint guns go, it's under 1 MOA at 100 yards with Sierra 55gr bullets. Just my .02 Cheers [ATTACH type="full" alt="Rem 760 2 (1).jpg"]456895[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Rem 760 1 (1).jpg"]456898[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="Rem 760 3.jpg"]456896[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
