Yes, .223 and .223 Remington (often abbreviated as .223 Rem) refer to the same cartridge. The term ".223" is a shorthand designation, while ".223 Remington" specifies the manufacturer and is the official name of the cartridge. They are typically interchangeable in firearms designed for .223, although it's important to note that .223 Remington is loaded to higher pressures than the .223 Wylde or .223 Remington match cartridges.
