Hello,
Have question about that rifle in 223 caliber. Can it handle 5.56 NATO cartridges ? I know difference, and usualy gun chambered for 223 can't handle 5.56, but this LTR is from LE line, just wondering if this is ok ? Can't find official spec, only one line at Remington web, that says 223 caliber.

Thanks.
 
I put several through my Savage model 11. No problems.

I won't tell you what to do but "Big boy rules" apply here. Modern rifles will tolerate way more than just standard pressures, therefore "I" was never concerned using them in mine.
 
You should read about the difference between .223 and .556 NATO and then tell us what YOU think. Then we can have a debate about any differences! :)
 
While ever so slightly different, for all practical considerations they are interchangeable. Millions shoot them in all sorts of guns without issue.

Many will argue passionately otherwise with lots of detailed explanations why this is wrong. Technically they are correct, but it doesnt matter. They cant see the forest through the trees.

Please show us a single 223 rifle that cannot handle 556? Just one will do.
