No, you cannot safely shoot a .222 Remington cartridge in a .223 Remington rifle. While both cartridges look similar, they have different dimensions and pressure specifications. The .222 is shorter than the .223, and using it in a .223 rifle could lead to dangerous chambering issues or unreliable performance. Always use the correct ammunition specified for your firearm to ensure safety and optimal functioning.

What is the difference between 222 and 223 calibre rifle cartridges?
The .222 Remington was the parent case for the 5.56x45/.223 Remington cartridge, and it was also the parent case of the .222 Remington Magnum (which was rejected by the military prior to the adoption of the 5.56x45). The .223 has a longer casing, which holds more powder, as well as differences in neck and shoulder measurements. The two cartridges are NOT interchangeable.
Are 223 and 5.56 interchangeable?
A rifle with a 5.56x45 chamber can utilise .223 Remington cartridges. A rifle with a dedicated .223 Remington chamber cannot accommodate 5.56x45 cartridges. A rifle with a .223 Wylde chamber can accommodate .223 Wylde, .223 Remington, and 5.56x45, but neither a rifle with a 5.56x45 or a .223 Remington chamber can accommodate the .223 Wylde cartridge.
