Difference between 223 and 5.56 ammunition?
While outwardly they appear the same and they both use the same bullet, the 5.56 has thicker case walls and a smaller capacity for powder. The 5.56 is the standard NATO round and guns chambered in 5.56 will shoot .223 with no problem at all. The opposite is not always true because the 5.56 will produce higher chamber pressure and it's not always safe in all guns chambered in .223. Also, you cannot use .223 reloading dies for 5.56 brass. The brass will not cycle through the die at all.
