No. If it does not have 5.56 on the barrel then use .223 ammo.
Single shot, bolt action, pump, semi-auto,
Browning BlR
Only .223 ammo. There are different bullet weights.
Are you sure you have a Remington model 722 in .223 caliber?These bolt action short action rifles were chambered in 222 rem,222 rem mag,243 win,244 rem,257 Roberts,300savage,or .308 win.only.These bolt action rifles were made from 1948-1962 which is before the .223 rem cartridge exsisted.I believe that your rifle was rechambered at some point in time before you owned it.I would have a gunsmith take a casting of the chamber to be sure.I own a model 722 Remington in 300 savage caliber and I love this rifle.Good luck with yours.
>.223
The Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle marked as .223 can safely fire the .223 AND the 5.56 NATO military cartridge. The Ruger Mini-14 TARGET model should only fire .223 ammo- no 5.56 mm
No. Dimension-wise, they are similar, but there are differences in neck angles and case thickness. .223 Remington ammo can be fired in a 5.56 chamber, but 5.56 ammo should never be fired through a .223 Remington chamber.
Not necessarily. Centerfire and rimfire refer to the cartridge. Those with a primer in the center of the cartridge base are centerfire, and those with propellant packed in the rim are rimfire. Popular centerfire cartridges include the .223 Remington, .380 Winchester, .30-30, .30-06, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, etc. The most commonly known rimfire cartridge is the .22 Long Rifle. There are bolt action rifles manufactured for each type of cartridge.
Both are fine.
