Will I be able to shoot .223 out of a rifle chambered for 5.56?
The rifle I've got in mind is a Stag M4gery chambered in 5.56
What I've read seems to say that .223 chamber is tighter than 5.56 and better for accuracy. Shooting higher pressure 5.56 mil ammo out of a .223 SAAMI spec chamber might produce dangerous pressures.
So I would think that the other way round is ok, that is, shooting .223 Rem out of a 5.56 Nato chamber is safe and does not produce excessive pressure levels. (due to the 5.56 Nato spec being slightly larger than .223 SAAMI)
Have I got this right?
