Yes - this is the same ammunition
No, it is NOT the same ammunition. The AR-15 has a 5.56x45 chamber, and it will be marked "5.56" on the barrel. Many imported firearms which have a 5.56 chamber will be marked .223 in order to be classed as "sporting rifles" which may be imported.
The .223 Remington cartridge may be safely cycled in a 5.56x45 chamber; the 5.56x45 cartridge is not safe to cycle in a dedicated .223 Remington chamber.
When it doubt, always check with the manufacturer - they are the most authoritative people to talk to on these matters.
The civilian .223 Remington and military 5.56x45 cartridges are similar in dimension, but differ in case thickness, chamber pressures generated, and neck angles. The chamber pressures of the 5.56 greatly exceeds that of the .223 Remington, and the different neck angle can prevent proper headspacing from being achieved in a .223 chamber.

Can all colt AR 15 SP1 shoot 5.56 NATO rounds?
The Colt AR-15 SP1 is primarily designed for .223 Remington cartridges. While it can safely chamber and fire some 5.56 NATO rounds, it is not recommended due to potential differences in chamber dimensions and pressure levels. Using 5.56 NATO in an AR-15 SP1 may lead to increased wear or safety issues, so it's best to stick with .223 Remington ammunition to ensure safe operation. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
