    Yeah pretty sure its 223 wylde. I want 16'' or 16.5'' 5.56 goodness to go under this new MI free floating rail I just got...

    If its .223 Wylde (not Remington) then its the new improved chamber that will run .223 Remington & 5.56 Ammo while providing better support and performance for both rounds.

    It's a better chamber than a 5.56 chamber :twocents:

    I've never seen ammo in that caliber. I think its just a modified chamber.

    But no, you wouldn't be able to run it in a 5.56 chamber.
    this stuff just keeps getting more and more confusing.

    .223 rem in a 5.56 NATO:yesway:
    5.56 NATO in a .223 Rem:noway:
    .223 rem in a .223 Wylde :yesway:?


    So Wylde is just a chamber and not a cartridge. Got it.:n00b:

    .223 Rem & 5.56 NATO in a 5.56 NATO Chamber
    .223 Rem & 5.56 NATO in a .223 Wylde Chamber (with better performance, and less stress on the case, less pressure, etc...)

    Google fu delivers again. .223 Wylde is a hybrid chamber developed by Rock River Arms to support both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO and offer higher accuracy.
