minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·7 days agoTIL that .223 Remington and 5.56x45mm NATO are very similar but not identical cartridges. Weird!
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoThey aren’t identical but the cartridge is so similar they can be used interchangeably.
minus-squarePogogunner@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-26 days agoThis is dangerous. TL;DR: You can use .223 Remington in a rifle built for 5.56x45 You should never use 5.56x45 in a rifle chambered for .223 Remington
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoAre you worried about the pressure? The round will absolutely feed.
minus-squarePogogunner@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-26 days agoYes, of course I’m worried about the pressure. You can also feed and fire a .300 blackout in a 5.56 rifle/barrel, it will just destroy the weapon, and maybe your body if you’re not lucky. Edit: https://youtu.be/RbfIkaNlECo?t=127
minus-squareMaggoty@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agoYeah, that comes down to knowing your weapon. You can always over load the powder.
