[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1770256, member: 2736"] Both the 223 rem and the 223 Wylde use the same head space gauges. you should not force the no go gauge closed because it could damage the chamber. Only use one finger to attempt to close on the no go gauge because it should be about .006, and the go gauge is SAMMI length so that as soon as it closes yo have the minimum head space for the round. Always insert the gauge in the bolt under the extractor so it is held against the bolt face. The Wylde chamber was designed to handle the 223 Rem and the 5.56 ammo and has a longer throat and freebore for heavier bullets and higher pressures Found in most machine gun ammo. The 223 Remington ammo can be fired in a 5.56 but it is not recommended that the 5.56 be fired in the 223 Rem because of the differences. Your rifle should be in the middle of the head space range from what you are saying, so you are good to go. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
