.223 Wylde

[dangertree]

Question for black rifle shooters. What do you think of the 223Wylde chamber?

I always thought it was a good idea... A match-like chamber for the .223, but can also safely shoot 5.56.

Are there any cons?

I have an Armalite HB Match Stainless barrel in .223 & several Colt 5.56mm barrels that shoot the same match ammo -well, about the same.
That same Armalite barrel has seen quite a bit of 5.56 as well, with no issue.
For me, I'd say it's a wash -I wouldn't put more stock into a barrel with a Wylde chamber, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it either.

I have it in my Douglas barrel that is on my middy in Iraq --
accurate and reliable.
