[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2145014, member: 113268"] I have an older model rem 700pss in 223 rem that I have been considering rebarreling to 223 wylde. The first question people ask is why. There are 2 reasons for this. The first being that I want to be able to safely shoot both 223 and 556. The 2nd is that although I can put 5 rds of cheap pmc ammo in a dime at 100 yds, I can only do it with 55 gr bullets. If I try to shoot anything heavier, the bullets start flying everywhere. Just jumping to 62gr, I have a hard time keeping a 4 inch group and 70grs I have a hard time keeping it on the paper. That all being said, I was looking at doing it myself with a remage barrel. Has anyone done this? Am I risking losing accuracy? Pros vs Cons? I read where the 223 wylde is more accurate shooting 223's than shooting out of a 556 chamber but how does it compare to a 223 chamber? I could just rebarrel with another 223 rem in a 1-8 rate of twist. Any advantage to that over the wylde? [/QUOTE]
