[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1256747, member: 83267"] If you want to fling lead all over the place go with the NATO chamber if your more into precision shooting get the 223 Rem. The twist rates are 1-9 which may or may not stabilize the 75's most likely it will but there's a chance it won't. The 1-8 twist will stabilize the 75's no problem. There is also at least in the AR world what's called a 223 Wylde chamber it's basically a NATO chamber with a 223 Rem neck. The drawback to a 223 Rem is your not supposed to use NATO ammo do to the higher pressures. The 223 Wylde solves this. In order of accuracy from the best to worst in theory. 223 Rem 223 Wylde 5.56 NATO I have 4 223 Rem chambered guns, 2 223 Wylde chambered guns and 2 5.56 NATO's for precision work you want nothing to do with a NATO chamber I'd take one of the others with no real preference there both good.
