Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

I still have one aftermarket biotches.

Linwood, you got a min?

 

I'm approaching double that.

 

That makes two of us.

 

Anyone know which ammo is better 556 or 223 as i can shoot either one, is one more accurate than the other, cleaner, etc

 

i only have 28k on my 06 and im out of all my warranties so i dont want to hear it

 

shot the 556

 

Depends which one is stamped on the side of your barrel....if your weapon is chambered for 5.56 then shooting that one would be best and vica versa...there are slight differences in the shape of the shell in the throat area....in fact, if I remember my facts right, if your weapon has .223 on the barrel it is recommended that you DON"T shoot 5.56.....

My 05 still under warranty, 6 year 60,000 mile. Yes I got ripped off / expensive.

 

I bought the 125k 6 yr but we all know the extended aren't bumper to bumper...

 

556 stamped barrel can shoot both just fine. .223 stamped barrel should only shoot .223 and not 556.

the 6.8 barrel is similar in that a 6.8 sammi barrel should only shoot factory 6.8 loads. while a 6.8 SPC II stamped barrel can shoot any load

 

Its a 556 nato 1/8, seems the 556 is a faster round... Dont have to worry about the 556 in the 223 barrel. Dont know why no one gives an answer on shootin 556 tho. Lookin at 1000 rd boxes

 

what u mean no one gives an answer on shootin 556?

 

This is my problem, i know i can shoot either but which one would work better.... FACK

 

556, i told u that in the previous post i left

 

COOL, but ur post was on the last page... 1000rd box on natchezss.com for 324 shipped

 

Using commercial .223 Remington cartridges in a 5.56 mm NATO chambered rifle should work reliably, but generally will not be as accurate as when fired from a .223 Remington chambered gun due to the longer leade.[19] Using 5.56 mm NATO mil-spec cartridges (such as the M855) in a .223 Remington chambered rifle can lead to excessive wear and stress on the rifle and even be unsafe, and SAAMI recommends against the practice.[20][21] Some commercial rifles marked as ".223 Remington" are in fact suited for 5.56 mm NATO, such as many commercial AR-15 variants and the Ruger Mini-14 (marked ".223 cal"), but the manufacturer should always be consulted to verify that this is acceptable before attempting it, and signs of excessive pressure (such as flattening or gas staining of the primers) should be looked for in the initial testing with 5.56 mm NATO ammunition.

 

thats that explain why i said shoot the 556?

 

Yea i just read that too but its more for not shooting 556 in 223 and less about shootin 556 in 556

yeah it does.

 

that means to me, if i shoot a 556 in a 556, it will be more accurate than a .223 round shot in a 556chamber
